Is there a specific route or trail you want to hit up this summer? A distance or fitness goal of some sort? Planning a bicycle tour? Bikepacking?

Please share, I’m curious to see what all of you are getting up to for this summer!

    I wanted to get another 1000 miles in, but between being physically exhausted from work and mentally exhausted from other things, I’ll probably not get to that this summer.

    I did a 106 mile charity ride about two weeks ago (Chicago to Michigan). That was super fun and had great SAG stops. I don’t have any other long rides planned for a while but later this summer or early this fall I’d like to ride along the I&M canal trails and possibly camp overnight before returning (~70 miles one way, some gravel some paved trails).

    (This is my first post on Lemmy!)

    Even though I’ve got thousands of KM of riding under my belt this past year, I realize that I haven’t really explored much of the surrounding areas.

    So, my plan for this summer is to explore more!

    The fact that I’ll be entering my second year of cycling so much stronger and more capable of riding longer than when I first started, time will be my only limiting factor! Exciting times!

    I love doing local commuting. I usually do it from spring until fall but I just started new meds that effect my appetite. So I have been a little cautious because sometime I will run out of energy and not realize it. So my first goal is just getting back on my usual schedule. Something about getting to a location just through your energy is so fun! I don’t love biking to bike but I love using it as transportation.

        That was my first idea too, but since the spring / early summer was so cold and rainy where i live, i didn’t feel like going north and get even more cold and rain. Pretty much the day i started riding it got sunny all day and kinda hot.

        Good to hear you got good weather up there! Did you start your tour in norway? I am in switzerland now.

            Yeah, they don’t last forever. I am about halfway through too, in Croatia now. Good to see you make it back home fine.

            Would be cool if you’d share something about your tour on [email protected] or here. Cheers!
