Thanks For Visiting

8/30/2016 - I'm back from a summer of bikepacking in Alaska, but the summer isn't over yet. There's lots of photos to process and some posts to write, so stay tuned. In the meantime, I've kept @wanderingbybicycle updated on Instagram.

@snowmakesmewet taking the path of most resistance. #postworkride #mtbvt #rideyourbike No snow yet, but there's still plenty to ride at Cochran's Ski Area. #mountainbiking #mtbvt #singletrack #hesgotlegs @schmidt.danielpaul grasswhacking along the XVT Bikepack Route. I couldn't escape the feeling of bugs crawling on me, and a few actually were, after riding this section. #bikepacking #biketouring #adventurecycling #mountainbiking #xvt #xvtbkpkrte #explorevermont Breaking camp along the XVT Bikepack Route. After a long drive to the Mass. border, @schmidt.danielpaul and I rode a few headlamp illuminated miles to a great camp spot on Harriman Reservoir in Whitingham Vermont. #bikepacking #biketouring #bikecamping #xvt #xvtbkpkrte #tentlife #explorevermont Taking a break along the XVT. I decided to ride my Surly Pugsley with a 2x9 drivetrain, Jones Loop Bar, and @45nrth Hüsker Dü tires. In front I'm using a @revelatedesigns Saltyroll for my clothes and sleeping bag, a Revelate Pocket for my camera and electronics (kept dry with plastic and Tyvek), and Revelate Feedbags for feeding. In the middle I have a @defiantpack custom zipperless frame bag and zipperless top tube bag for my tools and food. Out back I have a Sea to Summit dry bag for my tent and a @carradicebicycle Camper Longflap saddlebag for everything else. #bikepacking #bikepacks #xvt #xvtbkpkrte #fatbiking #surlypugsley #adventurecycling #explorevermont #mtbvt Round 2 on the XVT Bikepacking route, this time riding north from the Mass. border to Ripton with @schmidt.danielpaul. #bikepacking #biketouring #adventurecycling #xvt #xvtbkpkrte #mtbvt
