My view:
There are so many places to go.
Experiences to get and
People to meet
There is more than enough for all of us.
If you travel for the purpose of the travel. To see things and visit places,
not to tick something in the bucket list. You do not have to go where there are a lot of adventure bikes.
Go off the main trail, and you will experience a lot.
The world is huge and full of remote places.
Where you can meet new cultures, beautiful nature, foreign people and .....

You can do Patagonia-Alaska, using the Gringo Trail.
Tick it on your list. And tell about it on the pub.
Or you can travel small roads to special places,
Where you do not see many "tourists"
And collect memories.
For me that is the purpose of travelling alone by bike.

I really hope (but doubt) that things will go back to normal.
So I can do long trips.
But for now, I will enjoy EN2 in Portugal.

Not by racing it in two days. But to go slowly and take a lot of detours. To find interesting things.
But that is me.
And I respect everyone's choice
