First Bikepacking Trip // Catalina Island Long Cut
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- Went and stayed on Catalina Island a couple nights, for my first bikepacking trip. Lots of uphill and lots of downhill, bumpy roads and spiders in the night.
David and I explored the area around Avalon and got some dinner, then rode to Blackjack campground, totaling about 21 miles the first day. Day two we visited the airport, and then rode back to Avalon for lunch and more exploring, we began our climb and ride to Little Harbor campground around 4 p.m. and rode about 33 miles that day. Day three we packed up and rode back to Avalon to relax for a while before it was time for the ferry, about 20 miles total. We had some time to check out the botanical gardens which is always fun.
Riding my 1987 Specialized Hardrock.
Thanks for watching!

Yeeeeeeeeeee
very nice . thanks for sharing. why did you choose to ride from AITS back down to Avalon, and then back up the hill to go down to LH?
We planned to eat dinner in avalon on Friday night and lunch in town on Saturday. Mainly to give us something to do and keep us from packing a ton of food also alcohol and coffee was consuned. We mainly took snacks, breakfast food and a dehydrated dinner for Saturday.
@@DmofukinLee Sweet. I have rode this in three separate sections, but not the whole island at one time. Hopefully this month. Thanks again.
Are permits required to take bikes on to the island?
Not to take them on the island but you need a wilderness permit if you plan on leaving the city and going camping and such.
Wow Catalina Island as your first bikepacking experience? That’s awesome. Planning to go this year for my first or second bikepacking trip. What month did you go?
This was in July. Weather was perfect. 70s over night, I didn't take a tent and just slept in the open.
