A couple more pics when I met up with him for lunch near the tail end of the trip. Gotta have at least one of yourself on a trip like this! Also got another angle of the rack hack he rigged up with the Irish strap. Great to catch up on the details! It sounded like a dream trip. http://flic

Chris, what has you wanting to try no carbs next go? I ask because I've found I need potatoes, sweet potatoes, or white rice, about a cup a day when engaging in long aerobic activity, but not everyone does. So you may need to experiment a wee bit to find what works for you. With abandon, Patric

A few tourists I ran into said they came that way, via the Crescent Lake shore trail, and that it was mostly passable on a touring bike. On Sun, Sep 29, 2013 at 9:01 AM, Shawn Granton < urbanadventurelea...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yeah, nice report Christopher! I've toured most of that area, so I'm

I wondered about the details on that. I am thankful for Nitto's Big Back Rack even when I just run the Large Saddlesack and no panniers -- it's easy to exceed the R-14's technical limit in weight, and you add in rough road/trail, that's a lot of force bouncing around back there. With abandon, P

Whoops, a missing bit from the Forks entry: Forks to Ozette, 54 miles. In the morning, while I was checking my rack bolts, I noticed that the strut that goes from my R-14 top track to the right seatstay eyelet was cracked. I assume it must have happened two days previous, during my adventure on S

Yeah, nice report Christopher! I've toured most of that area, so I'm familiar with what you talk of. I did a big Olympic Peninsula tour back in 2010 and ended at Lake Quinault. Like you, I wish I had more time to spend there. I didn't get a chance to go through Clallam Bay and then Ozette, eith
