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.

Bit of conversational question. I have 2 plans and still don't know which one I will choose, maybe you will help me decide.

One is to ride to Spain for solar eclipse, that is 12.7. and ride home. So probably through Austria, northern Italy, France and along Mediterranean coast to Spain.

Other is through Poland, Baltic's towards Finland. I still don't know what next if it would be possible to go to Sweden and Norway and then cross to Denmark...

I will have about 2 months for that so I will probably use some trains and stuff to shortcut it here and there.

So what are your plans, where would you want to go this year?

I am looking for some trips in Asia. But the plain tickets are pricy so it will have to wait until I have a good plan and probably some friend to do it with me.

For now I stick to countries where I don't have to deal with stuff like visa... So EU and European economic area.

So I am interested in your trip as well.
