Bikes of the 10th Annual Tally Tango
Bikes of the 10th Annual Tally Tango

Hello and Good Day Fellow Adventurers, 


Saturday October 5th will be the official 10th running of the Tally Tango Bikepacking extravaganza.  For me its been an honor to continue hosting this event with this outstanding local community.  Forever and always, huge thanks to Mat Bull for creating the original route and helping every year to continue to assist me with my crazy ideas and concepts. I knew long ago when I first experienced the route that Mr. Bull understood what it took to create a compelling work of route architecture.  Because I like to keep things interesting.  This year I asked riders to send in photos of their trusty steeds and share some of their details in the process.  So Enjoy the following contributions from our local Bikepacking Community. 


Take Care,

Karlos
