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.

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.

Hell yeah, you're doing it. What are you going to do when you arrive in Madrid, do you have a first bit of a plan or are you going to decide which direction to cycle when you know which way the wind blows :) Personally i really like having a plan, a broad one that is.
I left lemmy (just forgot to delete this account here, will do later), but i will check in from time to time to see what you're up to! Best wishes!
First bit of plan is to get to the hostel and get some sleep I will be traveling since 3 am.
After that it is just idea of a plan. I thought about Valencia or Barcelona (about 1-2 week trip) and then follow the coast to Gibraltar. I heard that after the floods Barcelona is ok but Valencia isn't, so I will probably head directly to Gibraltar.
Why did you left? I was wandering what happened to you.
