Deputy Editor Dan Meyer just returned from 5 days on the Aquarius Trail, a new hut system from Brian Head to Escalante through the Dixie National Forest in Utah. Dan says the trail wound through nearly every ecosystem southern Utah has to offer, topping out at 10,000 feet above sea level. The aspen were golden, the company was good, and the huts were "legitimately cool as hell." Dan's official story of the trail and his trip will be in the February 2021 issue of Adventure Cyclist magazine. Subscribe by becoming a member so you don't miss it! Link in bio.

As @boughn says, if you've got it, pack it on the bike.

Levi @boughn took a little idea sparked by the project and created this fantastic adventure cyclist, complete with Shimano sandals and a DaBrim. It's a little bit like one of those children's puzzles where you have to find all of the hidden and hilarious details. We just love it. And don't forget to turn the sound on for extra fun.

What's a weird piece of gear you can't go without on your bike trip?

So what do you do when all your experience in the world hasn’t prepared you for the things you encounter while traveling by bicycle? Well, if you’re Devin (@dev_rox), you surround yourself with good people, sit down, and reflect on it all, preferably while eating a snack.

In episode 2 of Dynamo Jenny the Podcast, Devin tells the story of her bikepacking trip through western Montana. Being a Black woman from Atlanta, Devin found Montana ... challenging. Add together the mountainous terrain, a grizzly bear sighting, and a surprising number of encounters with "intrigued white folks," the challenges Devin faced in Montana tell us a lot about expectations: the expectations we have of ourselves, of others, and of the places we go.

Give Devin's story a listen now on your favorite podcast app or at the link in the bio. You won't regret it!

U.S. Route 50 in Nevada
Day 76 - 3,526 Miles Traveled
—————————————
Nevada is not what I expected. When I thought about biking through this state all I could imagine were flat beds of sand in the beating sun. In reality, it is like Colorado, but more tan, and straighter roads.
Our rides consist of a series of mountain passes followed by valleys. At the top of each pass, the next desolate valley awaits, just like the last, inducing a sort of deja vu experience. This image was shot in one of those valleys, and you can see how this straight road dips down, then right back up into the mountain pass. It was captured at 600mm, giving it this surreal perspective. No photoshop here.
