Wife and I loaded up for a 6 day lap around the Black Hills in South Dakota.

My wife and I went for a 6 day trip around the Black Hills in South Dakota. We got a good mix of pavement, gravel, rail trail, two-track and singletrack. The main goal of the trip was to take it easy and not stress about mileage or speed. We ran into some cool people racing the Black Hills Expedition 450 route since we were basically doing the 280 length route in reverse. The fall colors were really starting to pop and the weather was perfect! 10/10, would recommend

After 4 years of the drop bar monkey, I decided it was time for a change. Beauty of the external routing is, it's only few zip ties and a couple bolts to swap back and forth!

From local trails to some overnight trips, our hardtails have been earning their keep this year!

Wife and I took our friend for his first bikepacking trip. Kept the mileage pretty chill. The morning showers on day 2 turned into almost all day rain with colder than expected temps. Nothing some wine and a fire at the end of the day couldn't fix though!

First time catching any of these species on the fly. It has been a pretty solid week!

Camping and biking trip to hit a small section of the Maah Dah Hey trail.
