Lost cherry

Post by Mr Sparkle »

Hi all.
First time poster here.
I finally got my finger out and had a go at this Bikepacking lark that all the cool kids are doing. It was a short tester. I rode out after work and headed to a secluded spot via a very indirect, largely offroad route taking in a chippy (chips and curry sauce) and a pub (Squeezing my Melon man IPA). It was a learning curve but I'll be back for more I think.

Nice to see you're already focussing on the most important aspects of any ride - beer and chips :-bd

Had another go. I got an Alpkit Elan hooped bivvy as a birthday present so was looking for an excuse to christen it. No chips this time but had a decent pint in the pub part way round.
