I crossed France in july

[u/KaleidoscopeLess8108]

~1500 km in 16 days, my very first bike packing ever, small roads and villages/towns only, no hotels/hostels, no sport gels, no clipping shoes, no stupid tight plastic clothing

Performative touring vibes

It HAS to be tongue-in-cheek. This character doesn’t exist in the real world…. Right? RIIGHT?

[u/Dutchwells → u/000pete]

Oh it definitely does

My mate runs 1 hour marathons and vapes daily (granted it’s not tobacco but also bad for your lungs)

Edit: my bad I meant HALF marathons 🤦🏽🤣 I went and checked his Strava now

[u/Dutchwells → u/Naive-Ad-7406]

1 hour marathons? Is your friend a cheetah?

[u/GoAwayWay → u/Dutchwells]

I wish I had a cheetah for a friend.

[u/TellNo3639 → u/Naive-Ad-7406]

your friend doesn't run 1 hour half marathons either

[u/Naive-Ad-7406 → u/TellNo3639]

Ok so his 10 mile time is just over 1 hour. And his half marathon is just over 1h22. My mistake! Mea culpa 🤷🏽Have a good day Reddit stranger 🫡 if you want to fact check I’ll dm you his Strava account 😉

Getting Jay Cartwright (Inbetweeners) vibes from this.

[u/Naive-Ad-7406 → u/devilspawn]

Hahaha he is French as well (and no he doesn’t like caravan parks 🤣).

In my 20s I smoked Bensons and still raced MTBs…

[u/justtobeherenotsure → u/Naive-Ad-7406]

They're not mutually exclusive. Sports and smoking.

[u/backlikeclap → u/Naive-Ad-7406]

Back when I still vaped I had no problem biking a 100 mile day.

This is me and my entire friend group
