...nice when the weather is a little inclement ... or you want to relax, eat a meal without dealing with bugs...
...haven't used it in conjunction with a cycling trip... but would work if I took my hitch rack off, before setting up the tent...
Ride On

had a fair amount of rain recently so the creeks are high and running fast

First ride to "trail-test" my upgraded Dual Sport. Now a tubeless setup with 2.25" wide Racing Ray/Ralph XC tires, and Deore M5100 11-speed drivetrain with XT shifter.
So light, fast and nimble... a much better setup now for trail riding and it still rides smooth, fast, and quietly on pavement. This has become my favorite, most fun-to-ride bike.

For fun, I want to share photos from maintenance stuff. I really only ride road bike about 10% but I love having so many options nearby.
Below is after a quick clean/lube tonight.
This is my 2005 Lemond Sarthe. 100% stock. This is my first road bike (only road bike...I am typically a dirt riding MTBer) Tonight, as the Sun set, I wanted to go for a ride. But a bit chilly, so instead I prepped my bike for more trainer rides [88th in my list of priorities] But I got out the chain cleaner, rare for the Sarthe. So now a clean drivetrain. FWIW I rode the Sarthe on a local ride and reminded me how it is so fast and smooth.

taking in the sights and sounds of the Slippery Rock creek and gorge @ McConnell’s Mill state park
great stop near the Moraine state park bike trail
the Slippery Rock gorge trail is part of the 4800 mile North Country trail that passes through 8 states and stretches from North Dakota to Vermont
the grist mill and covered bridge were built the the 1800’s

the ‘hidden river’ just off the Moraine state park bike trail
spotted beavers at a dammed beaver pond on the way out - and on the return trip appears Bigfoot was watching
… but no Easter Bunny
