Current Stage Info:
Went bikepacking on White Rim Road in Canyonlands over Thanksgiving 2017. Two days/one night, starting at Island in the Sky visitor center, and camping at Murphy Hogback.
Then I hit up Henry Coe State Park right after Christmas.
I'm starting to understand why randonerds like low trail. With the new low trail front end, the bike handled the front load like a champ.
