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.

You should find a place that is short and comfortable and do it.

Even if it's just a fireroad headed up to a campsite with one interesting thing to look at in between.

Easiest way is to get a rack on the back of the bike and put some panniers on and a big set of straps on the handlebars to lash things to.
