Howdy, Jay here... I started mountain biking seriously around March of this year. I live in Florida so mountains are non-existent but we still have some very decent trail systems. I've been wanting to get into bikepacking and just starting to figure out what I need for it so I joined up here...I'm working on a custom frame back "will finish once I figure out how to fix a sewing machine." Since my budget is limited I'll be making most of my bags. Looking forward to sharing experiences with everyone.
