Just getting started, trying out my setup!

Just a year ago, going bikepacking/touring felt like a pipedream. Something I would fantasize about while watching YouTubers more capable than me. Now I'm slowly but surely working up my physical strength (just surpassed 50 miles in a day 💪 ) and finally pulled the trigger on some camping gear. I'm already planning a night or two getaway from NYC, with the short-term goal of possibly doing the Empire State Trail to Canada this fall or next spring!
