I was thinking of doing an out and back on part of the Colorado trail in early September.  I have about ten days available on my bike.  Then I was thinking of finding something a little closer to me.  Montana or Wyoming? Idaho? (Other than the hot springs route). Or if you've done the CT is it worth the extra drive?

I'm open to ideas!  Thanks!

I agree! If only more people knew about this stuff I'm definitely looking for ideas for overnight trips close to here as well as people to ride with and swap ideas.  The club/ group idea is a good one!

Redbike is bringing a salsa el mariachi in for me and I'm dying to get it.  I have revelate design bags I ordered online. Apparently they are the best. You can tell right away they are of incredible quality. Still unsure what I'm doing on my frame though...full frame bag vs half bag and a cage or two.  You're sewing your own bags?! Impressive.

Hey!  I'm out here!  Any luck finding people yet?  Just getting into it all.  Trying to plan my first little trip in June.  I just have a week off but thought it would be a good trial.  Are you pretty experienced with bikepacking?  What have you been looking at doing?  I've got all my gear and I'm so excited to go!  You would probably want to put on more miles than me so this might not be optimal but even if you have ideas of a good trail for me to start with that isn't a 24 hour drive away (and not the GDMBR).  Thanks!
