Thanks for sharing that, Dustin.  I live on the East Coast, but that
ride is on my bucket list...

Peace,

Dustin,

That was inspiring!

Could you give me a breakdown of the equipment you brought and how you
loaded your bike and distributed it?

What tent did you use? Do you have the medium or large SaddleSack and
basket? What size is your Simple One?

Was there anything you learned from this S24O that you would do
differently next time?

I'm both excited and scared of doing it.

Rene

Looks like a great time. Thanks for sharing the report and photos with
us. Amazing how "easy" it is to get to dramatic vistas from outside
RBWHQ. Nice to see you did it on your SO. I had planned to do
something similar on my QB but it won't happen this year.

Thanks for the nice comments. It was a successful trip and I will probably do 
it again. Although my body is still recovering and hurting 4 days afterwards, 
it was definitely well worth it. 

Cheers!

Great ride and photos - the carnation 'rack boutonnière' is now my
desktop background for the day!
