Ride Summary: I’m writing this is January, it’s in the teens outside. A week or so ago we had that snow. That was nice but the cold sucks and it gets dark way too early. It’s unnatural; we deserve eternal summer. For now the Longest Day of the Year will have to do.

If you’ve been to one of our Solstice Campouts then you know the drill. If not, here’s the skinny: we’re loading up our bikes and lollygagging over to our friends at Low Meadow Farms for a night under the stars.

If you’re new to bikecamping/touring/packing/whatever you want to call it, then this is a great way to dip your toes into the water. Not sure what to bring? Check out this list.

Stay tuned for more info!
