Wrapping up Trip #1, Planning Trip #2


I sat down to write everything out, pull out the notes I salvaged from my water-logged sketchbook, and piece the trip back together, and I dug out this photo. Prepped and ready to pull out of Chambersburg, PA, I set the camera on a tree stump with the timer on. Leaning on the "drying rack" end of my rig. It's good to see the bike all saddled with gear again. I look forward to doing it again soon. As I'm crafting the story for this trip, I'm planning the next one in my head.


The next trip will be a series of sub- 24-hour overnight trips (S24O's) in and around New York City. The practice was developed, as I gather, by a fellow at Rivendell Bikes. The experiment will cover how far one can get from the city in an afternoon ride for a 1-night camping escape, along with reviews of the campsites available in a 35 mile radius of the city.
