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.

It was december and raining a lot. I made a route using both komoot and RWGPS (the latter to confirm tricky spots with streetview). Still, information wasn’t up to date and had to make a huge detour.

views were beautiful though

pretty gnarly gravel

roads were very calm

Haha yeah I could have filled my whole cupboard with just the clay on my chainstay. I can still hear the chain making cracking and peeping noises in my nightmares haha.

Apparently it’s an unwritten rule that as a cyclist, you just have to see for yourself! Good call to make a qyick tour before the real autumn starts, I can imagine you have sort lf a ‘touring jetlag’ after you summer adventure!
