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.

I am sick again, can't believe it. Maybe i never really got all healthy, but now i'm pretty sure i have a laryngitis. Yesterday morning i was about to call it a trip and just try to take trains home to chill out. But then decided to stay here, take a room for a few nights and see how it goes.

Gorges de la Jonte

Days before i rode through the fantastic gorges in the cevennes but at some point couldn't enjoy it anymore and was just struggling to get anywhere because i felt weak. Rode a bow around cevennes out to Nimes and i am staying here right now. The plan was originally to ride mont ventoux then towards the alps, but right now i feel like i need to chill out with cycling too much mountains. Long climbs while breathing through my mouth, i don't think that will be great for my larynx. I think i will stay two more nights here and try to really relax, then see what to do.

@AchtungDrempels I am glad you saw it, my instance went down after I posted it. So now I have to use mastodon (my alt account instance doesn't federate with world)
