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.

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.

Planning to explore the different Routes Vertes out of Montreal to the nearby parks. Gonna do a bike camping trip to Oka once mosquito season dies down, then later on do Ptit train du nord to Mont Tremblant. If time allows gonna try and bike out to some of the parks in the Eastern Townships.

Try to get more kms in than what I’m getting now, which has been pretty much close to 0 as the weather has been almost non stop rain for the past month and half, and what little sun we see just brings all that rain back as exhausting humidity.

Then on top of that add work and it just leaves me with so little time to ride that even thinking about it makes me sad.

My usual routes are 30-50 kms long, tarmac, gravel, maybe even a bit of off roading / basic mtbing. There’s no real bike infrastructure here so I try to get out of everyone’s path and ride where there’s not much or no traffic at all, for everyone’s sake.

I have a Toronto to Ottawa bikepacking trip planned. Really excited and a little worried, it will be my first bikepacking adventure!

I did my first little cycle tour last summer, and I’m dying to get going again.

I’m thinking of touring the province of Prince Edward Island, I love riding on the coast (which islands tend to have a fair amount of) and apparently PEI has a very good network of cycling trails (at least for North American standards). If there’s anyone from there or who’ve biked there, let me know if you have any suggestions!

In early July, I’m planning to bike from Vancouver, Canada to San Francisco, California. Mostly camping, with a few motel stays to freshen up. I’m hoping to do it in an ambitious timeframe of 9 days, but if it ends up taking 13 days, I’d be fine with that.

(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!

The usual. Biking around the river valley when I’m in town to smoke doobies by the river and biking to the river when camping to smoke doobies.

No big plan, other than just increasing the longest bike trip taken in a day. Currently my best is 25km. I think more importantly I’ve been consistent as its been a part of my daily commute to and from work since October

I’ve been cycling to work every day for a summer internship in Austin. I really enjoy it, does wonders for mental and physical health. Apparently COTA has a bike night but on a weekday so I’m not sure if I’ll try that out since it’s pretty far.

Buying a bike. I had one before but it was stolen and couldn’t afford to buy a new one. I got a new job though that pays much more than my old job so hoping to finally get back to cycling.

No real goal, done a couple metric centuries already but have yet to done an imperial one. In general I’ve been trying to maintain a consistent volume of at least 10 hours per week.

Touring out west to BC would be nice, but I definitely need some better camping gear. I also have an e-road bike and could use an $800 solar charger, I could probably get 150 to 200km with low power pedal assistance and there’s always just manually pedalling til my knees hurt lol

I’m on tour currently, about a good week in and i have time till the end of august. Heading towards south eastern europe from home in germany and then i’ll have to make further plans, i am a bit worried about the heat, not sure if i can take it.
