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.

Everything was covered with the "frost" more like a ice sheet.

There's nothing quite like waking up to a layer of frost on the outside of your sleeping bag to really highlight to you how the day is going to go, is there?

Rackin' frackin' gotta build a fire to get all my water back into liquid form again.

Bonus points if you just realized that your water filter's cartridge is now toast...

I am in Spain and there it is bit gray zone with wild camping, so I setted up only bivouac.

What surprised me was the amount of water fountains/taps in each village here, so my filter didn't got wet. What froze was my drip on wax (wax suspension in water) and now it is paste.
