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.

I understood the seperation on reddit, they had the traffic for it and the bikepacking sub was meant to be all about offroad and dirt. But seperating communities by the type of bags you use seemed like such a shallow take to me, unless the community was solely about gear aquisition.

Looking forward to see what you're up to. Is your ladyfriend coming along again?

I dont think she would appreciate the distances on my next few trips tbh, maybe on a shorter one!
