Adventure Cycling designated June 4th & 5th as National Bike Travel Weekend. I joined a group of family cyclists on a short ride from the State Capitol to a group camp site along the river.

We were a small but fun group. It was forecasted to be HOT, but we lucked out with a slight cloud cover. Once we arrived at the camp site, and had a picnic lunch, the families with kids went swimming in the river. As the only solo adult on the trip, I spent my time leisurely setting up camp and reading in the shade.

| Pretty AWESOME campsite!! |
The night started warm, almost too warm for sleeping in a tent - even with the fly off - but quickly cooled down. I comfortably slept all night INSIDE the sleeping bag. Sunday morning we had a leisurely, simple breakfast of oatmeal and packed up. The nice part of bike camping is that you can only pack a small amount of gear on the bike, so packing up is easy, peasy!!

Bike camping is a ton of fun. I love the adventure, falling asleep under the stars and waking to the sunrise. I won't wait until next June's National Overnight Bike Travel Weekend to bike camp. Just need to find the place and the group.
