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.

What is on your wishlist this year? I have loads of camping stuff but started biketouring recently so big thing for me are bags and few stuff to complete my bike (bottlecages).

I am looking for some other things to complete my list (so other family members can give me something).

Personally i am good with stuff, but maybe some ideas off the top of my head.

something merino (underpants, T-shirt, socks, buff, leggings, long sleeve)
travel guide book, cycle touring / other adventure book, or for example i got gifted an extensive book about alpine roads and passes, it's mostly aimed at motorists but still pretty cool to read around
a small tool you maybe don't have like a spokey, i always bring one
small notebooks like the moleskine a6 cahiers
voucher for something along a planned route, like a night in a hotel or spa visit

Ok I always lose tire leavers so I will add it. Also merino is missing from my gear.
