    I’m lucky to live in a country where sleeping outside is easily possible, safe, and legal

    Unfortunately, this is not the case for Ontario, Canada, unless I wanted to go WAAAAAAY up North to extremly wild Crown Land (where the bears are).

    This is probably the biggest barrier, because standard campsites charge as much as a hotel, even if you are camping without a large vehicle.

    Even without much training, it’s easily possible to cover 100km / 60 miles in a day on flat ground, if your bike fits you. Cycling clothes also help a lot.

    Yeah, 100km is very doable. I’ve been aiming for 200km+ lately, but even then, it sucks that these are out-and-back rides. Still, I come back wanting to ride more :)
