The Pedalshift Project 271: Route Scouting Texas Hill Country

Looking ahead to the spring and some new-to-me routes that can check some 2022 goal boxes! This episode, we take a look at the Texas Hill Country loop that begins and ends in Austin. Will this be the one?

Route Scouting Texas Hill Country

Ideal in spring
Fly in and out from Austin
Probably 5-6 days
Mostly camping
Excellent resources
ACA maps
 
Downsides
limited services in spots
water
sprawl/traffic/bad interactions
 
Logisitics
Brompton capable?
Love the in-out via Austin (no car rentals, maybe even no Lyfts needed)
Mostly camping, probably some hoteling needed
 
Initial assessment
TX hill country gets a lot of great reviews
Very unnerved by the reports of bad driver interactions
Need to see what the camping situation is – state parks fill up but there might be city park options – Reddit post on camping
I hear anecdotally that stealth camping in TX is tricky because it’s mostly private land and high sensitivity to trespassing

The Pedalshift Project 270: Winter Fitness and Bike Maintenance

With a bunch of snow and ice on the ground where I’m at, it’s a good time to focus on things that will help bike tours coming after the thaw. On this episode, an update on my winter fitness goals, what I’m doing to keep it going plus some ideas on winter bike maintenance.

The Pedalshift Project 269: 2022 Bike Touring Goals

The beginning of a new year is often filled with resolutions that later end up littering later months, abandoned and forgotten. That’s why we’re calling them goals instead! On this episode, a handful of bike touring goals I’d like to reach by the end of the year…

Revisit a route (or portion of one) I’ve only done once
 
Think about a remote work-tour option (work-ride-work-ride… something else?)
 
Continue to improve my stealth camping skills
 
Repair or replace worn gear
 
Organize bike touring equipment and improve storage

The Pedalshift Project 267: 2021 Clean-Up Tour – Part 2

Happy holidays! I’ve ridden an ok amount this year, but to be honest, as the year was winding down I realized there were two spots I always hit that I haven’t been to yet this year. So I need to play a little clean up and get wheels down on these two gems! In part 2, I revisit one of my favorite campsites… maybe one of my single favorite places I can get to from home, by bike!

The Pedalshift Project 266: LIVE 2022 Tour Reveal + AMA

As we wind down 2021, we went LIVE BABY LIVE once again with your questions all about bike touring (and a few that weren’t) plus I revealed most of my first tour of 2022. At least I know kind of where I’m going, like, regionally… and stuff? This was originally streamed December 10, 2021 before an audience of sophisticated and tasteful people.

Live Baby Live

(PS where do I get this? INXS of course. And yes, I know it’s not what they pronounced, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ) 

First Tour of 2022

First tour of 2022 is… central FL! But what route?
Still hashing out options!
Original plan was fly to Tampa and take the same route to Central FL as past years
New plan (maybe?) – drive down in the LACROSSE! with the dogs and Kimberly, celebrate our anniversary first and then do some kind of two day ride
West to east?
Same route or take some of the trails that run much further north of my classic route?
WORK IN PROGRESS
 
Bike? Very likely the Brompton no matter what
I anticipate needing a fast forward in a Lyft or Uber on the Orlando side because I’m likely doing a day or so at WDW and as I’ve mentioned before, the Mouse is not digging on the bikes. Too bad.
 
Lodging?
TBD. I currently have a hotel in Lakeland set up (did Airbnb last time… was nice, but COVID makes me want hotels this go around)
If I change to the trail route, I may consider camping IF we do the drive.
 
Weather? Gear?
January is usually pretty nice… can be cool, can be warm. It’s a bit of a crap shoot, but I can assure you it’s better than DC or WV
Will prepare for rain and if I’m doing any camping, will be using my modified Brompton touring setup unless the conditions seem dodgy, inc which case we’ll do the tried and true Path Less Pedaled style backback trick (but again, only if we drive)
 
Am I ever going to do a tour that isn’t one I’ve done before?
I’ll answer that with a question… when is this pandemic going to ease the eff back?
 
Sidebar… this is all pandemic-willing. As we sit here on 12/10/21 Omicron variant seems like it might be a thing, so we’ll see. I am boosted, so I feel pretty confident, but if the variant and the vax doesn’t mesh, I may rejigger elements of this.
 
I’m very excited for this ride.
 

AMA

Just some of the questions asked…

Are you going to do a tour outside of the US in 2022?
 
Is the Green Goblin unretired?
 
Whatever happened to bikepacking – are you still considering that?
 
I want to do my first bike tour, but I’m scared of going by myself. What’s your tips?
 
What’s the best way to avoid chaffing on tour?

If you wanna watch instead
