Bikepackers are a strange breed, sleeping in an outhouse seems normal to me. You had a nice ride going this year, sorry you had to cut the 750 short. I'm sure you'll be back to tackle that beast next year!Schillingsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03989549784335580804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040610152701147394.post-79812453445074203592013-05-07T15:06:30.559-07:002013-05-07T15:06:30.559-07:00Great write up John.
"spotted a gummy bear ...Great write up John.<br /><br /> "spotted a gummy bear on the trail, stopped, noticed it was a 'fresh' one and proceeded to eat it!! Classic. Now he was craving gummy bears!! It just goes to show what level bikepackers will go to in order to satisfy a craving."<br /><br />I loved that bit. It reminds me of a conversation I was having with Jason Michalak about the virtues of sleeping in a public toilet. Not the sort of thing you'd normally think of as 'luxury' but by bikepacking standards, it's 5 star.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040610152701147394.post-28188775796295414802013-04-29T06:38:58.402-07:002013-04-29T06:38:58.402-07:00Awesome!Awesome!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330905259391716760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040610152701147394.post-31564640345546933942013-04-28T23:57:08.624-07:002013-04-28T23:57:08.624-07:00Dang it John!
