It’s such an interesting setup that it could have its own topic. Are you guys OK if I move this message to a new topic named “my custom travel frame” or something like that?

My wife ran with our dog last night, and I tried to keep up, which allowed me to fight the wind by myself. Turned out to be a beautiful evening to ride. I would have asked her to take the photo, but she and the dog were way ahead of me during the non-water photo, and behind me at the water photo.

So after a failed attempt at my 2nd Unipacking trip in May due to heat and a first attempt with not the best gear in October, I got in my first night of stealth camping. Wasn’t a long trip, only 15 km or so away from home, but I was able to get a lovely view of the sunset and sunrise and test out my new gear loadout.
I’ve got my pack down to 15lbs for a lighter load and 20 for an overnight with a bit more food and water needed.
This was also my first touring type ride on my newly built 29" wheel as well. She rides so well and I honestly couldn’t be happy with the final result.

A compilation of a ride my daughter and I did a few days ago. We were filming with an iPhone and I deleted the original audio because it was mostly my post COVID wheezing.iCloud

Do you live in Cornwall.
I switched Strava off for this ride (or rather never switched it on), and wow, it was much more fun. I think I might forget about recording and metrics and doodads for a while, and enjoy being a bit less online.

Sadly, no, but I have family connections in that area so we go down every year. I am back home in Essex now 
Interesting.
Are there huge fires or an active volcano hundreds or thousands of kilometers away? It kind of looks like a volcanic sunise. Dust in the air change the color of sunset/rises to a typical yellow/purple glow.

Nope, in all my my years of early morning uni riding & cycling, early sunrise on a cloudless day in winter mostly looks like this.

Rode the Needwood Loop muni trail a little north of Washington D.C. There’s an old abandoned Ford Mustang along the trail with tons of MTB stickers on it. Today I added a new sticker. Can you spot it?

Visiting friends, I decided spontaneously to bring the cycle along. I haven’t ridden more than 4 times this year, so I was excited to get out last sunday (5/6-22). I was happy to find that normal riding, at 17-20 km/h, still doesn’t make me winded. But there was a surprising amount of hill climbing. One of those was a long and steep and with turns.
I’m glad I got out, because it was the only day the sun was out this week.
When I don’t ride for a good while I feel like I need to prove that I still can.
PS. I was going to take more pictures, but when I get going I’m reluctant to stop, and in fact I did this whole trip in one go. If it’s been windy with gusts of wind, I doubt I could’ve stayed on doing the steepest climbs.

Didn’t you find it really slow going? I’m only asking because I cycled on my 29" with my friend running beside me, and honestly it was just too slow and got a bit boring.
