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.

Since i have mod powers i am just going to try this.

This topic is meant to be a low threshold possibility for all kinds of discussion. It is not meant to keep anybody from creating a new topic, the idea is that it may enable some discussion that would otherwise not happen at all.

Just a test balloon to see if this will get used. Do you think it is a good idea?

I got new bike and today I tested it by going to Bratislava. Not recomending to go for few rides and then 130km trip.

But credit card option Wild elephants hostel in the center of Bratislava is good. >10€ bed, nobody here speaks any Slovakian and now we will go pub crawling so it is good in the end.

Nice, a new bike! Guess the butt has to get used to it. I thought you must have ridden through the rain but checked the weather report, it's not looking all that bad in Bratislava.

Took a note of your hostel recommendation, thanks for that!

Yeah I planned it for last weekend and then I checked the weather.

My boss then said " We have nothing to do so check weather and tell me day ahead when you want to go." So this is propably last chance for this trip this year (i compare to long term average). Only the wind was bad sometimes up to 30 km/h from right side it blew me in the trafic.
