Preparing for!


   A weekend trip to Lake Allatoona , red top mountain park. The yurt is reserved, the gear is ready to go thanks to a little help from Half Moon Outfitters, and the only thing left is to figure out what kind of whiskey to bring. Beer would be better but sunday in georgia there is nothing to do about it no chance of picking up a cold 6 pack on the way to bed(or bag as i like to call it when camping)!

 The Bilenky is ready to go, the final touch was installing a rear rack. This has been a bit of a dilemma (if rack selection can be such) for me. I would like another VO rack to match my constructeur rack up front, but I wasn't drawn to any of their rear racks. In the end I went with a Nitto R-14 rack(also known as the Rivendell top rack) which by it's very nature as a Nitto product is something that we carry. thinking that it could be an in between semi removable rack there when i want it stored away somewhere small when i don't. Shortly after i put the order in I read online in a few places that the rack when set up feels flimsy... well so far in just having set it up it feels like it could hold a good bit of weight so it's true test is coming up!
 
 So expect a review of that rack soon.
