Okay, no more on why a trip wasn't good enough. Every trip is awesome. Hell, every ride is awesome. Stay out of the rescue chopper/hospital, get home and I'd call it a total success. A sweet thing about a short bikepack is you basically have your full kit with you–great training/shakedown. After two days, everything gets easier, IME. Way to go, cheese...here's to breaking ice
