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.

Gotta find some way to feel alive. ๐Ÿค” My brother and I were both able to pull our bikes up solo on the other side. Mine is a lot heavier though. ๐Ÿซช

Having a partner makes cycling challenges feel so much more manageable, for me at least! Sounds like you are having a fun time and that rules.

Safety and story sharing, 2x is better. The landscape by bike is so much more human than by car.
