Bike packing

Howdy all,

Taking advantage of a down day to let you all know our next venture. We leave tomorrow for Bariloche, Argentina and then the very next day, Stacy and I will be doing a six day bike packing trip.

We are doing part of what is called the 7 lakes route. It will be close to 140 miles and around 9,800 feet in elevation gain. This is still part of the Patagonia area but... the weather is supposed to be nice.

This is probably going to be incredibly difficult for me, and if I can quote Jakob from Patagonia, what's probably going to hurt the most is my pride😂, since I am not a strong cyclist. There are some hills on this route that are straight up steep as shit. We'll see how it goes. It is mostly on asphalt, maybe 60-70%, and 30-40% gravel.Read more
