On Monday I am fleeing the city to go sleep under the stars for a week. I couldn't be more excited. Blue Mounds is my destination. The original plan was to head up North but the forecast looked very unfavorable. So a new plan was formulated and executed. I must say as a side note that I was overly impressed with the ease at which you are able to change a campsite reservation from the Minnesota DNR's website. Kudos to them!
In more bikey related news, we've got a camping event through Freewheel in which myself and Joe will be leading a small band of happy campers into the "wilderness" and showing them that there is nothing to fear when it comes to bike camping. The event is scheduled for May 31st. It costs $10 to join. The details can be found here. The weekend before the trip, May 24, I will be holding a small gear inspection where you can come and ask all your gear questions both big and small as well as have me rifle through your stuff to see if you would have what you need to do the overnight. I am really looking forward to this event as the one in the winter was a big old flop.
Come camp with me!

Camping!
I didn't do one post during the month of April. Things have been moving fast for me with school and other stuff. I haven't done a lot of recreational rides or exploring. Mostly commuting, which is great still but I am longing for some off road riding.
A few days ago I gave a seminar on bike camping. I think it went fairly well, I was a little less prepared than I had hoped but I think it went alright anyway. I'm going to be leading a bike camping trip on May 31st to Carver Park Reserve. This is going to be a nice short overnight trip to help people who are worried about taking the first step. Bike camping is not rocket science but it can be intimidating. Hopefully this will be a good supportive opportunity for folks to come give it a worry free trial run. I'll probably offer a quick gear inspection day around noon on the 24th of May.
Some of the details are still being hammered out but it will soon come together. As I have more things to share I will post them here to share with you all.
In other news, I will be camping from the 19th to the 23rd up North. It won't be bike camping but it will still be fun and I am excited to get away for a few days. I'll probably have things to post when that time comes.
Thanks for tuning in.
