Looking good – how’s the saddle on rough terrain. I can‘t seem to make the antares work on gravel…
Lookin good! I’m doing north to south in 2 weeks, let me know how the roads are! I attempted it 2 years ago and the roads were so washed out I didn’t end up finishing
Awesome, have fun! I did it last summer around this time. It was a blast.
