It has to be said that that is a pretty common trait on Here, and probably part of the key to it all. Taking pleasure from a bit of adversity and unpleasantness, whether mental or physical. For example I've just laughed out loud when I've shredded yet another expensive jacket falling into some ravine or briar patch, or ended up kipped in a smelly toilet block instead of a nice woodland.The word 'travel' derives from the Old French 'travail' meaning "torment, suffering or trouble"
And I’m going to bite again (damn my self control!)

Try reading some books by self professed cycle tourists - then talk about adversity and suffering.
By contrast there’s an awful lot of trips on here that appear to arranged around cake and pubs.
I assumed that this introspection was caused by writing a book. That's got to tease out a few whys and wherefores, not least in determining the target audience/market.lune ranger wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 10:09 am Stu, I really don’t know why you’re trying to ‘spot the difference’ here.
Hey, I didn't start this. I simply joined in with a thread and it lead us here ... none of this is my fault*I assumed that this introspection was caused by writing a book. That's got to tease out a few whys and wherefores, not least in determining the target audience/market.

Yes they do seem to conclude that bikepacking is mainly off road and touring mainly on it. Not convinced but not caring enough to....care......Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 4:37 pm Oh no, they don't mention tarmac. It's as though they believe bikepacking to be an entirely offroad experience ... admittedly, I've not actually watched the film, so they could be saying owt.
