The Wiggly Wizard posted:Looks beautiful and now I'm pining for a rainy day ride. Are some of those roads rural bike paths or just narrow? Just narrow rural roads, i was riding early on a tuesday and wednesday so was blessed with little traffic. I didnt create a single slow moving traffic jam which is nice to keep the stress down.

I did some bikepacking last week out at Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba. September is definitely the prettiest month in Southern Manitoba. I did the Baldy Lake Trail out to the Gunn Lake campsite. It's all back country trails and camping so there's no cell phone service out there and rarely any people. My Surly ECR all packed up. I bring my dog with me, so almost half of the stuff I have to carry is his. His food and water take up way more room than my food and water and his sleeping mat (because I'm a big softie that doesn't make him want to sleep on the ground) is as big as my sleeping bag. The tent is also a 4 person tent. I have a 2 person tent, but I like being comfortable.  This is what most of the trail looks like around this area.  With some open fields.        Gunn Lake.  The campsite is pretty good. They had just stocked the firewood before I got there, so that was nice, but any time I've been there it's always been well stocked.    Here is the cockpit on my ECR. I decided to bring my bluetooth speaker with me since I was alone and felt like some music and podcasts would be a good idea. The Beats Pill+ fit perfectly on the Surly Moloko Handlebar Bag. It was very snug.

Those are great photos and a great dog. Wish I could take my pup bikepacking but his prey drive is too high so he’s always gonna be an on-leash woofer for our adventures. Please go on more adventures with your dog and post more pictures!

Please go on more adventures with your dog and post more pictures! Yeah, I'm pretty lucky in that he will always stay pretty close when he's off leash. He will start to panic if he loses sight of me. His name is Cerberus and we go on many adventures together.

There's a weird feeling I can't put into words that I get when I see pictures taken that way of modern stuff and scenes. Like I should only be finding pictures like that in a box in grandma's wardrobe after the funeral or something. Cool pics though! E.I realised that may have sounded bad, I think they are cool and I like seeing film photos, but I can't erase this weird feeling in me when I see them.

This weekend, I did my first overnight tour, riding on the CnO canal towpath from Cumberland to Brunswick, MD. It was cold overnight, and since I don't have camping gear and didn't want to stay outside in the mid 30s, I elected to stay overnight in a hotel halfway in Hancock. I've been wanting to do this for a while. Here's what it looked like when I left Cumberland in the morning.   \My setup. It's a Soma Wolverine that is used primarily as a commuter bike, hence the basket. The rear bindle rack is supposed to be used for a bag (which I did here, obviously), but it usually just has a Dill Pickle U-lock sleeve on it. The basket was really convenient to just have a stuff sack handy, as most of what I had in the two bags were layers  Pumpkin Ice Cream in Hancock:  It was cold in the mornin'  Typical scene:   Trail was full of nice folks touring the towpath:  Including a Belgian Malinois puppy out for a cruise:  Maryland is expensive, but it's fantastic for an outdoorsperson, so I get out there and make the best of it. I'll be back to smallmouth fish this section:  Right when I ended my ride, I ran into some folks with Somas, so that was cool:  Wife planned filet mignon for me at home, and I cracked a good bottle of cab from the basement to go along with it. I was really happy with my training and electrolyte plan, and didn't cramp up, which has been an issue with me in the past mainly due to going out too hard or not training enough ahead of time. What do people here do about minimizing cramping risk while remote? Ride a lot, don't pedal too hard while on tour and take a ton of electolytes?

I think the road bike riders would have the best info about preventing cramping. I typically don't ride hard enough to induce it. Not a tour, but Cerberus and I went on another adventure this weekend.

Good deal on a Big Agnes tent if someone wants a 1 person bikepacking specific tent. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174498433938

I was interested opinions on "specialist" bike packing tents where the bike frame (or front wheel or both) becomes part of the structure so you don't need to carry poles and you get extra bike security. One example is here: https://www.rei.com/product/732405/topeak-bikamper-tent Reviews for this model are generally poor - has anyone ever tried one out?

They solve a problem that doesn't exist. You can do the same way cheaper, lighter, and more secure with a traditional tent or tarp. A normal carbon pole falling over and your tent collapsing? Inconvenience. Bike falling on your head? Possible ER trip. I use this carbon pole that weighs less than 2 oz. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015XFVV6I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I run a guyline through my bike frame or put the pole through one of the wheels if I'm worried about bike security. No one can snatch it without undoing my tarp that way.

I'm working on a thing that turns your bike into a hammock. Still a couple of issues to work out (comfort mostly).

I have a nice light enough 2-man tent with enough room for me and all my gear - and my bike security has been an old camo tarp over the bike (also stops it getting covered in dew on cold mornings!) ^^^^ Looking forward to seeing that bike-hammock combo on Kickstarter!

Found these pics when cleaning up Google Photos. First day of my first tour, from (as captioned on my jacket) Seattle to San Francisco:  These two old guys were doing the Seattle to Portland ride, and one of them had the same getup as me -- pink Brooklyn cap and glasses mirror. Once in a while, you'd see the ACA sticker for the route we were riding:  This one was particularly poignant cuz I'd just taken a picture of that geography:

I bought a Big Agnes bikepacking-specific tent and it works nicely. It's really just a difference in collapsed pole length and overall packaging. It fits snugly into both of my Carradice-style bags but can also be lashed to molle straps. https://www.bigagnes.com/Gear/Tents/Bikepacking

The only think keeping me from eliminating my trunk bag while road touring is the pole length means the tent won't fit in the panniers.
