Late late late.

We have 2 matching Trek 1120s (how cute). The racks have been hastily spray painted to look trashier on bikepacking trips through questionable regions and the Trek logos have been covered with ultra high quality electrical tape. Everything is pretty much stock except the misc. bags, Surly Moloko bars and dynamo hubs. These bikes have survived 6 countries so far and even falling out of their boxes on a plane. I wonder if they'll survive this race?? The small one is named "Santa" because no one believes in him, but he is capable of magical things. The big one is named "The Pigeon in Pursuit" because does a mean pigeon impersonation and he always is trying to keep up to who is much faster than him...

Late but not last. Well maybe last. Who knows. This one is from Justin
“
There’s not enough full suspension bikes in the lineup so here I am back for a third year of punishment on my faithful steed.

The most notable change is the lack of my riding partner—something about riding with his wife—so I’ve packed entirely too much food to eat away my sorrows, and slimmed down the sleep kit to pack even more food as I’m foolishly attempting the Jumbo this year. New drivetrain added this week with a fancy oval ring to attempt to save my knees—because a 500km trip over the mountains is the best way to test these things, right?

Revelate bags bookended by Blackburn, but the best thing about it this years rig is a new Cotopaxi hip belt strapped to handlebars that is not really needed and adds more weight, but was a gift from a student and it makes me happy.”
