Long days, small bags.
About this space
Long days on a bike and the small bags you do them with. Route planning, loaded handling, commuting setups that survive winter, and roadside mechanics from people who have fixed it in the rain. Touring reports include the dull logistics, because the logistics are what people actually need.
