Bend Oregon, Lava lands national monument.
Giant XTC with a Velo Orange Limp dick stem, carbon ‘Corner bars’ knock off and Deore XT. Old man mountain rack, Maxxis Minion fronts on both carbon wheels.
We had a great time. He’s going to be a dad in September so we discussed his upbringing and what a father is. Awesome.
I fainted, which freaked us both out. Luckily I don’t land on the volcanic rocks, just sand. Kinda makes me leery of bikepacking alone, but I must continue on. I’ll just wear my helmet around camp while standing.
