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.

I guess you try to get somewhere sunny?

Off the top of my head, Sicily, Portugal and southern Spain with the option to go to Morocco, Canary islands, Cyprus. To have a bit longer days, probably Canaries make sense since it is so far south. Probably also has relatively cheap flights. Only time I have been to the Canaries I had shit weather, but I guess it should not be the case really.

This is a nice site to check for weather averages: https://weatherspark.com/

If you are interested in canaries at all, this is probably a good starting point for route ideas: https://granguanche.com/

It's been on my radar, but I usually have all my holidays used up come winter, this year is no exception.

I looked in to it and most probably I will take train to Spain, ride there for few weeks, take ferry to canaries then decide what to do next (-;
