On day 2 we decided to just take the main road to the lake that we were going to try camp near and skip the majority of the trail. Our plan was to ride the bikes on the trails around camp and have an easier day. Unfortunately, the main road to the lake was pretty much all uphill. My friends spent the better part of the morning pushing their bikes up the hill, I spent the better portion of the day waiting for them to catch up. Ha! We did find a great camping spot on the top of a mountain about a mile off the road. My buddy's cousin lives up near there and he brought us a case of cold beer for the night. By this point, we pretty much realized that we suck at bikepacking but were still having a blast.
