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.

Photo from earlier this year for a cheeky overnighter shakedown ride.

Hoping to ride this down the country come the summer time but we'll see where life takes us

Yeah, thanks for doing it though. I would have done it if i wasn't on tour and only had a phone, actually tried creating a community but couldn't figure out how from within jerboa.

Maybe you could also invite the bikepackers in the description. Unlike the /c/[email protected] community which tells you to leave your panniers at home, because obviously it's about the things you buy, not about the activity. Definitely would like to see a broader umbrella with these few people.

And yeah america sure has some crazy cool looking places to cycle in.
