I didn't finish the PCT with everything I started with (pictured here) 😂 Thankfully I feel extremely confident in the gear I did finish the trail with, but I need to figure out my bike gear and do some longer shakedown rides before trying the full GDMBR. I went on my first group bike ride this weekend and it was so fun! We biked 14 miles (22km) with 2000 feet (609m) elevation gain. Racing my shadow ☀️ I bought this bike on FB Marketplace a few years ago and then sold it once I realized that beach cruisers aren't exactly meant for the hills of Tacoma 😂 The good thing is that I sold it for exactly what I had paid! Making an international move off an island has been a huge pain in the ass to say the least! I was living on Vancouver Island for the last year but decided to move home to Washington and am now consolidating and downsizing my furniture and belongings! Hi! FYI I changed my user name to @ameliabikes! I started this account a long time ago when I began running and was going through some health issues, and I decided to update it for my GDMBR journey instead of using my personal account. Happy Howloween from my family to yours! 🎃💀 What I wouldn't give to freeze my ass off on top of this mountain again 🚴‍♀️❤️ I bought a used Norco Storm mountain bike for $200 about a month ago! The man selling the bike received donated bikes and fixed them up, sold them, and donated all the money to a bike charity which was really nice. He made me ride the bike around the neighborhood before he would let me buy it because he wanted to make sure it fit me properly. It's a size small frame and I'm 5'3 | 162cm. I bought a few frame bags from Rhinowalk and Rockbros and am well on my way to becoming a bikepacker!
