hey Robert,

That's a great little film! Wow! Those Bromptons sure don't look very 
stable at speed, but they fit nicely on those rafts. I love that Alistair 
was wearing an airline pfd. Hopefully, the person in his seat on the next 
flight didn't need it.

Thanks for sharing that.
Cheers, John

  It looks like you've got a pannier of some sort attached to the left 
fork. Did you leave that attached? BTW, that's some Appaloosa! Beautiful 
color. Root beer?

It was on in the early iterations to hold the PFD. I eventually figured out 
a better way to hold it on a rear rack - the pannier acted a bit like a 
reverse sail.

The color is standard orange, but with a lovely dusting of Sacramento dirt 
and sand :)

Thanks Colin. Iterating the set-up that's just right for me will only add 
to the fun! It looks like you've got a pannier of some sort attached to the 
left fork. Did you leave that attached? BTW, that's some Appaloosa! 
Beautiful color. Root beer?

Aeroperf, that's a very cool TSF16. I once had the pleasure of paddling one 
for a short bit in calm water, but I didn't have to set it up nor break it 
down. I'm sure at some point one of those Rough stuff Fellowship riders 
tried to haul one by bike!

Oooh and aaah! Thanks for the photos Colin. I wish you had posted this 
months ago before I bought mine! $1000 seems a good deal. C'est la vie! 

I have yet to use my Caribou as winter up here is more conducive to skating 
the river than floating it, but those days are coming soon. 

I appreciate seeing your photos as they help me visualize how my 62cm Hunq 
will ride the bow. Have you ever attached your Appaloosa without removing 
the rear wheel? 

I'm heading south in a few days and plan to paddle the boat in Utah and 
Arizona. I'm very excited to get the boat in the water finally.

Cheers, John

Patrick,

I've posted my "Joe-Rafter" here before and I think John Rinkler picked one 
up in the winter?

But yes, this raft was designed with having a heavy bike loaded on the 
front of the raft, no mini/foldable/small wheeled bike required. I 
essentially used it to bike up river, strap my bike to it, paddle down 
river, hop back on the bike, then pedal home. It saves having to stage a 
car as your friends and most others with a kayak do it. Its not as fast as 
a kayak (although, that's partly due to the engine as the argument goes), 
but also exceedingly light and packable. So the idea is you never have to 
worry about locking/staging anything and just bring everything with you on 
all legs of the trip!

I added another photo and video of what its like with the bike on the front 
of the raft.

Re: [RBW] FS: Alpacka Packraft Setup + Aquabound Paddle

2024-03-25 Thread Patrick Moore

I'm not in the market, sorry, but I find that little inflatable very
interesting. Is the boat designed specifically for packing on a bike, then
floating the bike down river, then back to bike packing? I didn't know that
this combination was a thing.

And isn't the Appaloosa a long wheelbase model? Do they make kayak-specific
bikes? (Recall a long-ago Boblist member planning a custom small-wheel
backpacking bike for wilderness trips.)

The reason I'm interested is that my next door neighbor (ex Serotta brazer
back when Serotta built in steel and former roadie, but as a mail carrier
nearing 60 he now finds that his daily load carrying uses up his energy)
and his wife like to pack inflatable kayaks to the Rio Grande (the river is
about 1/2 mile East of my front door, but they pack the kayak/s north to a
Corrales entry point), float downriver about 6-8 miles, then take the other
car back to pick up the first car. I think *he* once or twice packed the
kayak north on his bike, locked bike, floated down, then drove back to pick
up bike.

If you or anyone else cares to post photos of kayak/boat excursions, I'd be
delighted to see them.

[RBW] FS: Alpacka Packraft Setup + Aquabound Paddle

2024-03-25 Thread Collin A

Folks,

It is with a heavy feeling in my gut that I am posting my packraft setup
for sale. I haven't used it since I moved away from Sacramento and I don't
forsee it being something I continue with.

Asking for $1000 shipped (plus 3% to cover G fees) for everything.

You'll get:

- Alpacka Carribou Bikerafting Raft - just the basic one (no bailer or
internal storage) that comes in at about 5 lbs in blue. Comes with the
seat, inflation bag, storage sack, and a mini-repair setup. No tears,
abrasions, repairs, etc. Only used in freshwater, and cleaned/air dried
after every use.
- https://www.alpackaraft.com/products/caribou
- Aquabound Whisky 4-piece fiberglass paddle in *sunwave*. This is
*light* and packs down small for easy carrying on the bike. It was
bought as a cosmetic second so its got some inconsistencies in the epoxy,
but is structurally sound. There is one itty bitty chip in one of the
paddles in the outermost layer, but otherwise pretty good condition. 200cm
length
- Whiskey Fiberglass 4-Piece Straight Shaft Kayak Paddle | Aqua Bound

- Not pictured, but a little waterproof holder to hang onto your
phone, wallet, etc. very useful in keeping the important stuff dry.

Backstory:
I picked up the raft and paddle in mid-COVID (Spring 2021) and used it
extensively with my appaloosa during my time in Sacramento - pedaling up
the American River Trail to the Nimbus fish hatchery and then paddling down
the river back to paradise beach in Sacramento (about 3-4 hours of
leisurely floating). I also used it once for camping up at Folsom lake
Peninsula Campground, which was a hoot and mildly scary.

It served as a great extension to my normal bike rides during the hot
summer months and the weird time of COVID, and really opened up my eyes to
what you can accomplish via bike. If you have a river near you, I'd
strongly recommend giving it a shot.
