Just because it's warm out doesn't mean the forest roads aren't completely covered in ice! Spent last couple days in Allegheny National Forest, Western Pennsylvania. First pic is overlooking Kinzua Dam. Initially parked around Hearts Content and did a nice loop, camping near Jakes Rocks in free dispersed camping. Tip: Morrison Run is an AWESOME stretch of road. I almost feel like I shouldn't post this because there's no one out there basically and you have the whole National Forest to yourself this time of year.
I bikepack with 50 dollar rear panniers and a fifty dollar Bissinia tent for those who think they absolutely need to get expensive stuff. I have not run into a situation where a seat bag type rear setup would be preferable, even in dense forest outside of forest roads.
The darker tire lines in the snow in the third pic are not a safe place to ride right now…we had to take the snowy middle of a lot of the roads due to ice.

Do you park you car at a trailhead or are you close enough to bike there?
