Silver Siouxon, May 2019
Our first bikepacking trip.
75 miles, 9,868 feet elevation gain
2 days
Boy we really messed this one up. A classic case of we didn’t know what we didn’t know. But we had a blast anyway. Biggest takeaway: always read route reviews and comments. The first day took us so long that we weren’t sure we’d finish in time to make it back to work on Monday. So at the end of the second day, we bailed and rerouted ourselves via gravel roads back to the start. You could say this route is a bit of a white whale for us. We’ll make it back there at some point, much better prepared for the ridiculous shenanigans the route serves up.
