McTook’s, now serving second breakfast and elevensies all-day!

Damn, this one takes the crown

Damn that’s a dream route right there, including badlands and montañas vacias. I heard it can be chilly at night, but at least in the montañas vacias there are some shelters where you can build a fire!

If the Pyrenees are too cold going through the Basque country might be incredible, too.

Aah, egyptian cotton makes sense. I had a regular cotton one before, always felt like packing a brick.

Have fun, and keep us updated if you can and feel like it — I will be looking forward to it!

Beautiful!! Where is the road taking you this time?

I have a few questions about the gear, if I may: Why did you opt for a cotton sleeping bag liner instead of silk? (My 30e decathlon silk liner is great and very light) Why are you taking and actual book if you also have a kindle? Do you wear a helmet when touring?

Where is Margot Robbie when you need her?

That looks like Mitch McConnell’s cooler brother

Maybe the place I stole this from doesn’t. But you are fucking right for pointing that out!

Thanks for proving my point ;)

Well I mean they are everywhere…

They’re getting a better engine in ‘26, so they have that going for them which is nice.

Honestly I never got why LGBT+ is even a political thing. It’s just basic human rights. But probably my opinion will be seen as politics by some.

Have you tried one? I’ve been pretty curious about them

We need it for research, OP.

‘Mom, can we have an r/place?’

‘No, we’ve got an r/place at home.’

The way I see it, all of us who migrated here won. Enshitification is eventually going to kill reddit, the only question is when. I’ll grab some popcorn when it happens, but for now won’t worry about it and just enjoy my time here on Lemmy.

So my background is road/gravel, but I do touring on the same bike (3T exploro). Absolutely hated the Fizik stock saddle. Proceded to do some research amd found SQ labs (SQlab 612 Ergowave Active), who apparently design saddles in cooperation with a urologist (to, you know, protect the crown jewels). It was a total gamechanger. Never had a bit of pain or numb feeling, not even once. No break-in period. Not making publicity either, I just really really love it. NB: it is a lot uglier than anything by brooks, but once I’m sitting on it I dont care.

Edit: I may be preaching to the choir here, but one cannot stress enough how important it is to do a good measurement of your sitting bones when buying a saddle. This is even more important for female riders, as the sitting bones are oftentimes wider apart. Your local bike shop can help you with this and it is most definitely worth the hassle.

Yeah. Don’t remember what the other post was but I don’t think this is your first rodeo

Got me again!!
