Gary Rayor has had fun with many different types of adventure sports over the decades. At 71 years young, he continues to find ways to get out there. Dallas and Gary talk about how they met and the appreciation they both have for challenging themselves and embracing new experiences.

We go Mad Max on this one! What would bikepacking look like in a post-apocalyptic world? Dallas talks with Michael and Al to entertain this thought and debate the best way to survive zombies (or a solar flare) on bikes. He also brings in the cyborg—ChatGPT—to see what AI thinks. Oh, boy.

Dallas talks with Alan House (aka Ugly Al) about a recent journal entry he wrote, and then shared, while up late one night. "The Line" may just be the rambling words of a mad man, but it is the perfect example of letting your mind go places, being curious, and seeing what wisdom can be found in the wild world of adventure cycling. Join the party and find your line.

Dallas lives on the Oregon Coast now! He talks to Michael and Al about the recent Giro d'Langlois race event, a part of the Rural Coast Race Series that was put on by Bandon Bicycle Works (a former bike shop in the area). The guys also discuss bracing for the approaching winter snow storm, what's new at Taco Bell, and what to expect from small-town life.

Something a little different! This may be a shorter episode than usual, but we were able to fit in a first attempt at a mini podcast recording during our recent campout at Bullards Beach State Park in Bandon, Oregon. Bandon Bicycle Works (a former bike shop in the area) organized a "backyard bike camping" overnighter to just go across town and demonstrate that bikepacking trips can be chill and easy. Not always a mountainous challenge. Dallas, Michael, and Al talk a bit about the ride, crack jokes, and then get surprised by an unexpected guest.

This conversation is the second episode in our ongoing "Starter Pack" series, where all bike camping newcomers are welcome to the party. For this second part of the discussion on bicycle rigs, we go over comfortable handlebar options, gearing, grips, saddles, and more. We hope you can find some helpful info, even if you've been riding for a bit. Join us as we nerd out on bike setups!
