Something a little different! This may be a shorter episode than usual, but we were able to fit in a first attempt at a mini podcast recording during our recent campout at Bullards Beach State Park in Bandon, Oregon. Bandon Bicycle Works organized a "backyard bike camping" overnighter to just go across town and demonstrate that bikepacking trips can be chill and easy. Not always a mountainous challenge. Dallas, Michael, and Al talk a bit about the ride, crack jokes, and then get surprised by an unexpected guest. — Host: Dallas Mignano, Media Ambassador at Bandon Bicycle Works Guest #1: Michael ..read more

You will still learn and have fun along the way. We hope you can find some helpful info, even if you've been ridin ..read more

We go Mad Max on this one! What would bikepacking look like in a post-apocalyptic world? Dallas talks with Michael and Al to entertain this thought and debate the best way to survive zombies (or a solar flare) on bikes. He also brings in the cyborg—ChatGPT—to see what AI thinks.

Dallas talks with Alan House (aka Ugly Al) about a recent journal entry he wrote, and then shared, while up late one night.
