I wish I could but I'm too busy in August. I live at 8000 ft and summers are short and busy. I'm hoping to do the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia this fall when I have more time, maybe with a stop in Cuzco.

Here is a pic of myself on my Longstaff trike on little tour in Dieppe,France. The trike is a George Longstaff circa 92 one wheel drive. Great trike I love it.

Here's my bike loaded and relatively clean near the beginning of my holiday weekend trip across Wisconsin, from La Crosse to Milwaukee. The other pic is a frustrating attempt to get a good picture of it lit up at night. It's my commuter so I have a number of extra lights for night riding which make me feel a little bit better about my bad touring habit of racing the setting sun "just a few more miles."

Blue Ridge Parkway Tour

Skyline Drive / Blue Ridge Parkway tour in early May this year. Rode 550 miles from Front Royal, VA (couple detours) ending in Asheville, NC (for the breweries). Can't say enough about this ride, a must for touring.

It was with the insights of this site and this forum that helped me get this 1984 Trek 720 and my wife's '83 Schwinn Voyageur SP ready to tour, thanks for all the tips and mechanical advice. Never has that Trek been more fun to ride then climbing and descending the Blue Ridge Mtns loaded down with packs. Can't wait for the next one.

Kelley and I are currently touring in Iceland. If you're thinking about doing this trip yourself- I definitely suggest a MOUNTAIN BIKE. Wow, some of these roads are rough, and the big tires make it so much more fun. You can leave vehicle traffic in the dust on the F-roads!



My bike is a Surly Pugsley with 29+ wheels. About 69lbs without food/water. Love the Old Man Mountain rack, and the tires.



Kelley is on a Surly Ogre. Her setup weighs about 60lbs without food/water. Kelley loves her Rogue Panda framebag and her cargo net.

This is our new bicycle: an Avaghon X29 steel touring bicycle. So far, we are really pleased with it!

without looking to check, it looks similar to the alu framed bikes you two used on your last trip, is it the same company? This one has that slightly curved main frame tube behind the front wheel, it seems to my memory that your previous bikes had that also (plus, this looks like it has the same drivetrain setup too)
cheers

why the change? More for fun to try out a new setup?

Here is a picture of mine bike and my girlfriend's, respectively. We just came back from a trip that spanned from Quebec City, Canada to El Paso, Texas!

Hi @djb, no it's a different company (Avaghon from Bike4travel) and it's a steel frame. First time for me riding a steel bicycle. And the other one with the curved main frame tube had a Pinion P1.18 drive system. We are now back to using a Rohloff hub again. But, for the first time we have disc brakes.
Mine is even prettier (this one is Elmar's), but I haven't taken a photo of it yet.

The other bicycles were 'borrowed' and we had to return them to the company, that's the reason for the change.

Cheers!

Woo, I can finally contribute to this thread!

This was from our three day trip through Prescott, AZ.


Surley Karate Monkey, Revelate Designs bags.

Edit to add, here's our bike pile when we stopped to get chow in town during the thunderstorms the first night.

My fixed gear bike rigged for my 12-day bike-camping tour. Headed out on the C&O and then up and into the Pennsylvania hills.

Thanks guys!

Also, @mdilthey I just realized you wrote "The Apocalypse Bike" article/review about the Karate Monkey which actually helped me pull the trigger on one.

I have to say, I like it better than my full squish mountain bike on the trails, and bikepacking with it was a delight.

Your KM looks nicer than mine ever did! Great build. Glad I could help inspire it.
