Anyone looking for adventure beyond the C&O/GAP should look at riding the abandoned rail tracks from Pitts to Buffalo.

So I've just turned around from Burlington, VT and rode along the lake to jump on the Erie Canal on my way back to meet him in D.C.. Then we'll bikepack from DC to maybe New Hampshire.... The hard way. My bike is a NOS Panasonic MC4500, 50/44/28 with custom 7 speed 15-32. It's a half step combo. So mainly riding in the 44 on road loaded. The 28 is for off road loaded. The 50 is for the streets and different tire combo. After NH or wherever we end, I'll ride back down the coast to meet another friend to ride the TNGA route. Gosh, life is so hard. teamdarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730985048207207697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-86798434512198000082016-06-30T18:44:34.704-04:002016-06-30T18:44:34.704-04:00After my saddle bag's Velcro wore a hole in my...After my saddle bag's Velcro wore a hole in my shorts and tried to do the same to my thigh, I swapped it for a small bar bag on my Pass Hunter.

In addition, more weight over the front wheel makes keeping straight much easier during high crosswinds. Also, it looks cool.<br /><br />-IgorVeloOrangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814029344407654254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-48146330086594741502016-06-30T12:54:23.970-04:002016-06-30T12:54:23.970-04:00Point one: I covet the black tourer on the top of ...Point one: I covet the black tourer on the top of the post.<br /><br />Why the big bags on the front?
