Is there a specific route or trail you want to hit up this summer? A distance or fitness goal of some sort? Planning a bicycle tour? Bikepacking?

Please share, I'm curious to see what all of you are getting up to for this summer!

I did a 106 mile charity ride about two weeks ago (Chicago to Michigan). That was super fun and had great SAG stops. I don't have any other long rides planned for a while but later this summer or early this fall I'd like to ride along the I&M canal trails and possibly camp overnight before returning (~70 miles one way, some gravel some paved trails).

I’m gonna bike 219mi Bay Circuit Trail around Boston with my dad, who hasn’t done any serious trail riding before. Most of it is old fire trails, but there’s some tech that’ll be a good challenge.

No specific plans as we're not really outdoorsy. We did joke about buying an e-trike for my wife. We won't ride on most roads here in Ottawa though, as they're far too dangerous.

I was originally planning on going from the Netherlands to Switzerland and back during August, but a move and the start of my studies will probably get in the way of that.

Instead maybe I'll just go to Belgium or Denmark.

I really enjoyed biking through Denmark. The large amount of free shelters make it cheap and easy too

Did the Tour of Cambridgeshire a couple of weekends ago which was my first century. I did it with my wife and we weren't really fit enough so it was a slog. We have London to Brighton this weekend which I'm looking forward to. After that we don't really have any plans.
