You mentioned winter, are you in SA? Nice gear tweaking. I got a bad wheel so my hiking is limited and running is void. My trails and cardio are done on a mountain bike. Man what I would give to have two good legs!
Enjoy your trip @eturnerx!
Ps--iheart dogs. Momo looks ready to Gogo.
I'm in NZ. Yeah, I'm fat and already had a knee cartilege trimmed. So, I play it careful. Should do more in the stationary bike but I hate it. Yep, dog loves the bush but she also chases birds so I can't take here any place that has endangered birds.
