The familiar first miles flew by I have been participating in Adventure Cycling Association’s Bike Travel Weekend the past few years.

What a ride, Desert Creek to Lobdell Lake. It is a steady climb from 5000' to 9200' along a creek through the Sweetwater Range. Desert Creek is a fantastic place to camp, fish, ride, hike. Last year we had a bikepacking overnight here. I carried my @tenkararodco but didn't fish. It was a full day of riding. @drwelby joined in on what "seemed like a good idea at the time." Always a good time. #bikepackingnv #desertlife #mountains

Travels with #holga . I think I prefer color over #blackandwhitephotography but I will always shoot a mix. These shots are from the Calico Hills Overnight @blackrockdesert . The blog post is coming soon but I had to share. Climbing above the playa gave us such a unique perspective. #bikepacking #desert #ridewithfriends
Maybe bikepacking begins going to sleep under the stars. Until then you were just out for a ride with all your stuff. Day 2 began with a push. That push took us from the desert to the canyons of Black Rock Country. We had "flowers up the middle." Although day 2 still had over 2000' of climbing, we had almost 4000' of descending.
Six riders joined me for an overnight into the Calico Mountains as a part of my adventure ride series for @blackrockdesert . We climbed a road between the Calico Mountains Wilderness and High Rock Lake Wilderness. We camped at Donnelly Creek. The weather continues to be unsettled but it made for dramatic skies. #ridewithfriends #explorenevada #bikepackingnv
Fun day on the Little Truckee River between Stampede Reservoir and Boca. Always fun to land a rainbow on a dry that you tied. #tenkara #flyfishing #littletruckeeriver
