Great pictures

Post by Solo »

Anyone have any great pictures from bikepacking to share?

I know its nothing special but the August* one from the Singletrack Mag calendar just puts a smile on my face.

Not actually a good picture but one that reminds me of a great trip ... and hopefully a lesson to everyone not to give a camera to a monkey!

I still like this one I took on the 2012 WRT, typical type 2 fun.

I also took this one a couple of days later when we were having some type 1 fun.

Great pics in that set SteveM. Hoping for a good summer in the UK this year, they're a reminder of how good it can be. I can 'just-about' ride to the Peak District from here so there's 1 bivi road-trip planned )

Short ride up into Glen Eanaich on the Pugs. Very windy once I got out of the tree line! Snow lost completely gone now at the bottom.
Rain and wind make for a terrible combination when you are shooting into the wind.....spent most of my time trying to keep the front element free of raindrops.
Not always successfully as you can see.
