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.

So we go for a quick couple hours of an evening ride with a coffee set, what could be nicer? Well I guess something else than a coffee made by Satan Co., but it's a it was a damn nice evening

The evening was wonderful. Started with rain, at some points so heavy it kinda started hurting with the rain drops hitting arms, but after an hour on the saddle it cleared up and was just warm beautiful summer eve. Nothing more can a cyclist ask <3

Beautiful!

I didn't get to ride outside this weekend, just the indoor stationary bike. I did a ton of yard work Friday, which wore me out, hiked yesterday and today. I did watch a ton of videos on 32er amd window shopped for bike frames for a project I've been itching to do for a couple years now.

What a good idea to have a coffee kit!

It's really nice to have a 1 hour stop at a scenic spot and enjoy a cup of hot coffee!

Will get my own kit so when spring starts I can start doing some coffee travels!

I was kind of thinking it'd be cool to bring a hand-cranked coffee grinder and an aeropress and make coffee from beans on the route, but that's a lot more to carry 😅

(Also I don't own those things so also money investment)

Nice. We did 28 miles today over 6 and a half hours, with 4 or 5 playground stops and lunch in the middle

Sounds like a perfect relaxed ride, just enjoying the day!
