Grant Peterson comes in for a certain amount of ribbing on this forum, much of it justified. But while I'll never buy one of his bikes--or, probably, anything from his catalog--I'm indebted to the guy for popularizing the idea of the S24O (sub-24-hour overnight.) His describing the concept and giving it a name was a great thing--since hearing about it I've done at least a few of them every year. Living in Vermont helps. I often ride to Groton State Forest and camp by one of the ponds, but it's also possible and pleasant to camp in pretty much any random field or patch of woods around here.

Do other C&V types enjoy these little outings too? It's great to get back in the morning refreshed and ready to go back to work. What favorites do people have?
