Ah, there’s something special about getting ready to go away on your bike for a long journey. It’s not like a track day, where nerves can often get the best of even the most confident of pilots. Touring is an entirely different feel; the anticipation builds beautifully whether you’ve a specific destination in mind, or your trip has been meticulously planned, or even if you’re winging it.
Who knows what will happen, what biking joys you’ll savour or what you’ll stumble across – and if it’s with a group of like-minded mates, so much the better!
