For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

So Friday is the d-day for me.

I will tour for half a year, starting in Madrid and don't have a plan. Only thing is that I have to be back home in June.

The pyrenees to me seem very challenging. Enjoy your adventure! Would love to read an update once in a while!

I will certainly give some updates, be it here or on mastodon.

As for Pyrenees it will be some time to get there, in a spring I want to have decent weather for that. Maybe I will miss them along the coast.

Me too! The whole thing sounds rad and exactly what you should do. I'm sorry you lost your job, but you sound like you are handling a transition in a healthy way. May be the healthiest way possible....

Don't be sorry about losing my job, my boss/owner of the company just decided to liquidate it. No hard feelings on either side (maybe on his that he had to do it).

I wouldn't call it that healthy transition, more like evolution of life events.
