I do hope he lands a seat somewhere. And hopefully somewhere better than Alpine.

Great question!! Ok a rough estimate is the best I can do. As everything is bigger in Texas, I will take a relatively big deer for reference. As you will understand, I must compare area with area, so here goes:
Taking a BigMac as a reference and assuming a patty diameter of 10.4cm Source. This would lead to an area of 84.95cm2.
A bigger deer skin could be 150x139 cm Source. On the one hand this is an overestimation because those are the maximum measures and it’s not perfectly square, but on the other hand we’re not taking certain area’s such as the hooves and head into account. The area comes to 20850cm2.
So one deer is, in terms of area, as big as 245,4 hamburgers.
Again, I hope this helps.
According to google, a deer has a height between 0.85 to 1.5 metres. According to the Texas Almanac, the Lone Star State extends 801 straight-line miles (from north to south). This equates to 1289084,54 metres.
Taking this into account, a deer is between 0,00000066 and 0,0000012 Texas.
I hope this helps.
Damn that is a great place to camp. Second breakfast is always a good plan, but what about elevensies?
If the cold becomes bothersome you could consider staying on the southern coast. Girona is still one of my favourite cities in the world and the weather in the region is usually very mild.
But do prepere for some cold in the montanas vacias. Some of the refugios seem to have fireplaces though, that would be amazing!
Haha the problem was that it also wat a scrub for the carbon frame, not ideal. But it was still really awesome
I have the 2 euro fleece gloves from decathlon and combine them with the black diamond waterproof overmits, it works well for me (but they’re not the cheapest). My problem with thicker waterproof gloves is that when they do get totally wet (and they will), it takes ages to dry.
Good luck on shedding the weight in Alicante, keep the stories from the road coming :)
Wow these pictures are so awesome. I especially like the landscape just before the refugio!
Yes, AchtungDrempels is in business again! Amazing pictures, great stories.
The single trail photos are definitely good for building up some Lemmy street cred, looks great! Also, so great having Decathlon around. Even though I’m not always a fan of the quality, I was in Canada once and really missed having an affordable sports goods store around — I value them way more now.
Early rest day sounds like a great plan, and I think the steepness is real. Somehow Spain and Austria seem to have those, french side of the pyrenees as well I guess.
Goraffe desert looks incredible, funny to read that a place I would ecpect to be desolate is actually quite busy.
Really nice to have the abrigos around in the cold mountains, I figure you’re going to be thankful for them in Montanas Vacias as well, I heard it gets really cold at night up there, too.
Man, the cold hands whilst descending are a real problem. I remember not feeling the brake handles, having to look on my handlebars to see if my hands were still in good braking position before any corners. I now have some very light waterproof mittens that help a bit.
Haha also, if there is ONE thing to complain about in Spain, it’s the bizarrely erratic opening times. Ehat the hell, Spain?!
Hope you found some Lemmy users in Siles, great joke :D
Strong attraction to the central bulge
the andromedan mind cannot comprehend this
Me consuming the google algorithm thinking it was my own choice all along.
Damn, this one takes the crown
