Heard on CO 18, Boardman to Astoria, a ride that brought many of us to our feet: "Next time I go for a hike, I'm leaving my bike at home."
We do what we have to do and camp is always there waiting. You won't be first, you won't be last, and the fact that you do it at all remains something to be proud of. Just don't sacrifice that gram of weight to get the cycling shoes that leave you walking on the cleats.
