Ultra Endurance legend Lael Wilcox is racing around the world for the 2nd time. Check out the tracking website below. I biked with her for awhile in the 2016 Trans Am Race across America.https://www.wahoofitness.com/lael-wilcox-world-record-attempt

I biked 600 miles 40,000 feet of climbing last week in 3 days. It was brutal with the heat. The only physical issues I had were sunburn on lips and hand issues. I should of put on aero bars to rest the hands.

Went to the trail near the crib yesterday, drank a few beers, and smoked one, took pics of my bluelug haul to share



This is the grocery bag pannier, perfect size for me not too big super secure



The Nalgene cage



Got rid of the ergo grips and got these dope ass ODI samurai grips



And the kangaroo safety vest, definitely need to be seen more on these Texas roads




Here is the stem bag and 4 pack holder I got from whitebark gear as well, super quality stuff from a lady in Vermont, she makes hip bags and custom frame bags too

Gonna ride the 13 miles to House Park today for the New Balance demo and signing, prolly the longest ride I’ve done by myself, it’s only an hour and some change, from my place but I wanna accomplish it, wanna do it again for the swift campout next month

How you get on whit you ride dude? I ended up taking my road bike for a climb instead of the bike packing set-up test..Defo need to work on climbing.

[Texas_Tone]

Dude my ride was great, got to the signing in time to get Reynolds to sign my copy of union wheels right to skate, met up with some friends I haven’t seen in a bit, stayed for the demo, trahan and westgate killed it, Jake Hayes did a massive tre on the pyramid, rode back to my place around 7 or so, got the trail around 9 so I wasn’t on any busy roads, got home and drank a jar of pickle juice and ate a big ass bowl of fried rice, 24 miles total, really felt accomplished, now I just gotta do it again and be able to skate at the halfway point lol

Long bike missions are so fun. Sick. I recommend the air chair from REI or the air stool for the ability to post up anywhere. Having a super lightweight chair to have a break anywhere is nice. Any super light and compact folding chair is good to include with long bike rides.

Hell yeah. I recently got a chair and used it last week for the first time. Also it was my first group bike camping trip. I’m a solo guy all the way but I convinced myself to try a group trip. Anyway the chair. I was living it up at the campfire. Maybe I’ll be a campfire guy now too?

Digging the pics of the blue lug haul btw

[Texas_Tone]

That is a really nice chair, and the landscape is beautiful, i have never done a overnight trip but I’m going to plan to do the swift overnight one since it’s the same weekend as go skate day, gonna ride to my local camp there and skate the next day, gonna do it guerrilla style, hope fully it works out, it will most likely be solo but oh well

Bit random but Jimbo Phillips just did a Collab with Cinelli

What you gonna do with your gear after like the next day? I have been trying to figure something out like ok you can lock the bike but your bags are all there like. I am thinking about doing a bike packing skate trip to several DIY's around this region and just camp at the spot or near..but going into shops and stuff I'm trying to figure out what to do (solo also, by choice..)

Luckily where I’m planning to do it at is in a wooded park up on the northern side of Austin, I’ll prolly lock my bike up right there at the park while I skate, highly doubt anyone will mess with anything, there is also a DIY single track trails all through the woods, I may unpack everything and mess around on those as well, yea going to DIYs would have been my move if there wasn’t such a good park within riding distance

I would say bring your bike into shops. I’ve gotten into the habit of just bringing my bike into stores when I’m on long rides or have cargo.  I try to not be a dick, avoid crowded places and if they ask me to lock up outside I just leave or lock up. I don’t get asked very often to take my bike outside. Don’t be pushy. Apologize. Ask for forgiveness. Explain your situation or say you “forgot your lock” when you just don’t wanna carry that weight.

I’ve seen some really nice bike bags on bikes locked outside stores before. I guess just trusting nobody will steal it since only another cyclist would want a bike bag and it’s sort of a trust code. Of course take your vital valuables with you

When camping that’s tricky. You can tie your bike to your tent with rope so if someone tugs it your tent collapses and wakes you up. Quick release the tires and put one or two in your tent’s vestibule if it has one. I bungee the spokes and rim to the frame so if anyone wants to steal my bike they have to untangle the mess which buys me time to confront a thief if that ever happens. Although I’ve only camped in designated nature spots where people are respectful thankfully I haven’t had any problems
