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 Friday is the d-day for me.

I will tour for half a year, starting in Madrid and don't have a plan. Only thing is that I have to be back home in June.

I wanted to do something like that for long time, since I was 15. The thing that pushed me to do it was losing my job and because I have money to do this I didn't bothered to look for another.

So I have enough time, loads of gear from shorter trips, I am insane (in the right way) and don't have any obligations.

Keep us updated with pics. I wish I was also touring Europe on a bike.
