As I prepare for my first #GOBA starting this weekend, here's a #TBT to the one and only time I rode in @outdoor_pursuits other marquee event, #TOSRV - way back in 2004. I have been told that the weather that year was the best it ever was before or since ... temps in the 80s and very little wind. The friends I rode with were a group of brief riding acquaintances during my last year or two of living in #Pittsburgh. I know one of them is no longer with us; I don't know anything about the rest.

Finally took the @bikefriday #AllPacka on its first #bikepacking overnight trip this weekend on a pedal & paddle adventure from Akron to Canal Fulton and back. TL;DR is the bike worked flawlessly, handled just as well when loaded as it does when unloaded (if not better). Read more details about the trip and bike setup at the link in bio (carlessohio.org).

#BRAAAAAP #BikeFriday #AllPacka #MountainBiking

It was like #DejaVuAllOverAgain tonight as I took the @bikefriday #AllPacka back #MountainBiking at @summitmetroparks #HamptonHills to try to diagnose one of those phantom noise issues, and thus wanted to keep conditions consistent. Replacing an old worn out pair of pedals helped, but there’s more going on…

Perfect sunny Sunday morning to ride the @salsacycles #SalsaJourneyer on the Sunny Lake Loop through #AuroraOH.

A few shots from my two-day #bikepacking trip this week with #QuietRyan and @baforrer from @all_around_cyclery - We rode the Canaan Valley and the Forks of Cheat route from @bikepackingcom in #WestVirginia. See more pics and a full trip report on the blog (link in bio or carlessohio.org).

Went #MountainBiking at @summitmetroparks #HamptonHills tonight on the @bikefriday #AllPacka. #SmallWheelsBigFun
