About the Ride
This is intended to be an intro to bike packing. We will first meet at the shop for 2pm for a gear check, as last minute run through of all of your gear and your bike. We will have a sag vehicle so whatever you do not want to carry on your bike you can load up in the SAG wagon and it will be at the campsite when you arrive. Last minute SAG load in at 3:45pm. We have a fun challenging route that takes us 30 miles from the Great Barrington Shop north through some of Southern Berkshire Counties best gravel roads. We will end up at Spacious Skies Campground in Austerlitz NY, greeted by dinner and then a camp setup. We will be all setting up our sleeping arangements together on a shared site, so there will be help if needed. We will then hang around a campfire while we enjoy our favorite beverage and share our experinces of the day. The next morning we will have breakfast and then pack up for our 38 mile detour ride through Columbia Counties finest dirt roads before ending back at the shop.
