Our first proper camping in Morocco almost didn’t happen. It was getting dark, and we still had a few more kilometers to reach the lake where we wanted to camp. By the time we arrived, it was completely dark, making it difficult to see the road where we were supposed to turn right.

While we were looking at the map, a man approached us from a car parked in front of us. He was a policeman and told us that we couldn’t sleep there as it was dangerous and not allowed. He insisted that we go 2 km up the road and sleep at his house.

We were extremely tired, it was pitch dark, and the road ahead had a very steep 2 km hill that we didn’t want to climb. We explained that we were too tired and that cycling in the dark was dangerous. It took some time and a few phone calls to convince him that we were fine and that it wasn’t our first time camping in Morocco.

We began pushing our bikes along the small road, searching for a suitable camping spot. It was difficult to see anything in the darkness. Eventually, we found a flat spot and started setting up our tent when the policeman returned. He told us that he would need to sleep there too.

I felt bad, but I didn’t want to go anywhere. We reassured him that we were really okay, that he didn’t need to worry, and that he could go back to his house. He took photos of our passports and wished us good night.

So, I never did a proper #introduction because I am not in to those things, but after browsing the hashtag for few days I decided that maybe this is the time to make my own post.

So I am guy in 20's and mainly interested in #homebrewing #brewing and #cycling

More specifically I started brewing my own #beer when I was 15, because it was the easiest way to get alcohol at that time. It became my hobby, I moved to #cider only because I couldn't get decent one in store. And after that I worked in #craftbeer brewery.

As for #cycling I am interested in #bikepacking #biketouring #commuterbike and more of a utilitarian cycling. Right now I am touring through Europe on my bike and because I don't have anything other to do I will be doing that for about 6 months.

Sometimes I post in Czech, sometimes in English and I also repost from #lemmy where I moderate @homebrewing

Looking for Blogs/Feeds to follow; does anyone have any recommendation?

Topics: #cycling, #permacomputing, #camping, #bikepacking, #biketouring , #journaling, #renovation, #crafting, #indiedev or anything adjacent.

Preferable they shouldn't be trying to advertise or sell me a product. But not strict requirement.

1-3 posts a week max.

Mostly looking for independent- or collectives doing something.

I'll share a few below!

Want some #deepThoughts about #bikeTouring?

re #introduction Hi, I'm Chris (he/him), 49y, nerd, cyclist, gamer.

I'll post and boost mostly gaming related posts, thoughts and recommendations, no rants, no spoilers.

Things I enjoy: #biketouring #hiking #filmphotography with old #analogphotography cameras #bookstodon #books #FOSS #linux #anime

I care about #climatechange, pedestrian-friendly and bike-friendly cities and #sustainability but not here to talk politics.

I'm currently learning #Japanese #日本語.

"Let me please introduce myself..."

I spent my whole professional life in information technology. As a university teacher, I gave courses on computer organization, networks, and similar. As a researcher, I was interested in microchip design, cryptography, and IT security.

After retiring in 2018, I moved to Stockholm, Sweden.

My main passions are playing guitar and bicycling.
