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.

It was december and raining a lot. I made a route using both komoot and RWGPS (the latter to confirm tricky spots with streetview). Still, information wasn’t up to date and had to make a huge detour.

views were beautiful though

pretty gnarly gravel

roads were very calm

I think you should always ignore road closed signs on a bike - you can usually get past whatever obstructs the road and the whole section should be very peaceful. That mud looks like it should be very good for your skin too haha

Haha the problem was that it also wat a scrub for the carbon frame, not ideal. But it was still really awesome
