A flint hills experience
As winter winds down in Colorado - Steamboat Springs to be exact - and the days lengthen, thoughts turn to the bike. With an increase in temperature, and dry roads, it’s time to get out and about. It’s easy to convert one fitness into the other after skiing every day.

Bontrager Girona RSL GR & Bontrager Betasso RSL GX Tyres
Trek recently refreshed its range of Gravel tyres, scrapping their previous Bontrager branded ‘GR’ series tyres in favour of two entirely new releases.

CamelBak Podium Steel Bottle

But with an RRP of $599, most of us would prefer to stay in the good books with our significant other, buy a cheaper pair of shoes, and slowly fritter away the price difference on post-ride coffees.

There’s a plethora of bikepacking bags on the market these days. It clearly shows how this once niche sector has boomed to become more mainstream. However, roots in cycle touring go way back and riding around with your luggage isn’t anything new.
