Johnson here from LA County, SoCal. Biking since I was on training wheels. Graduated to 20in wheels GT, then to road bike. Now integrating more mountain biking when time permits.

Love the content here and gives a different perspective on ways of packing. Generally we all want to be minimalists, and somehow we end up with the suitcase.

Have two little ones now, a 22month old and a 7week old addition to the family. I'm turning 30 this month and was planning a trip from San Fran > Los Angeles with consent from the wifey and was well prepared/geard. However I didn't want to take that much time away from her and the little ones, so a change of plans includes friends and Angeles Crest towards Mt. Baldy. Most haven't done any camping so it'll be an adventure for all in good and bad ways.
