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.

Hey. I'm planning some trips in the spring time in Europe, with my gravelbike. What do you wear and what manufacturer do you recommend. I really don't know what is best, to have a jacket that is windprooforver a short Jersey, or a long jersey with a rainjacket? I really want to go for race fit style.

If you are worried about long Vs short sleeves, look at short sleeves with arm warmers as a middle ground.

That's an good advice. I just haven't found some good armwarmers. They feel a little bit weird on my arms, so was thinking I might not be made to those he
