Hi, I'm new here, I was curious about long distance cycling and I figured this was the place to get some insight.
I am a seventeen year old male, I am in pretty good shape and soon I plan to go on a 'voyage', I say voyage because I plan on going for cycling trips of a distance of around 20 miles, now I know to some people this will seem like nothing, but that is a pretty long distance for me. I feel I am very capable of that, after a few maybe 'practice runs' around the neighborhood to kinda get use to riding for that long, or at least work my way up to being able to do so.
I created this thread to get some insight on long distance trips. So, feel free to share any advice, or stories, preparation, things to look out for... things like that.
