SUMMARY:All Bodies on Bikes Chicago Fall Bike Campout
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”71798″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_column_text] \n​Get ready for Chicago’s most adventurous fall ride! We’re pedaling from the iconic Buckingham Fountain on a scenic 25-mile journey to Big Marsh Chicago\, where we’ll spend the night under the stars. This isn’t your average weekend ride – we’re talking a full camping adventure with bikes as our trusty steeds\, cruising at a chill 10-12mph pace so everyone can enjoy the beautiful October scenery. \n​Thanks to the Chicago Park District\, camping is on the house! All Bodies on Bikes has you covered with snacks\, water\, and some festive beverages to keep spirits high. For just $15\, you can grab dinner and wake up to breakfast and coffee. The campsite keeps things wonderfully rustic (think port-a-john vibes\, no running water)\, but don’t worry – our SAG vehicle will be rolling alongside to help with any needs and haul any off-bike gear so you can focus on the pure joy of pedaling through fall in Chicago. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:2025 Tally Tango with Karlos Bernart (SingleTrack Samurai) in Florida
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”69729″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””] \nSee pictures and videos from the route here. \nThe Tallahassee Tango routes are the first ultra-endurance bikepacking routes in the Florida panhandle. The routes are centered around the state capital and are composed of singletrack\, scenic double track\, coastal levees\, and forest roads. \nThere are four routes available. \nThe Tango Original 165 – This route offers many of the same features of the 177 route\, just by passes Aucilla. \nThe Tango 177 – Takes riders on the Eastern Side of the Aucilla River and offers riders options to see some of Florida’s Finest Rapids. \nThe Tango 277 – features all the awesomeness of the 177 route but offers riders a chance to go through Tate’s Hell and Back! \nThe Tango LiTe\, aka the Tango through Hell 230 miles\, is a mostly Gravel Route option for those riders wanting to see this beautiful area and avoid 99% of the singletrack found on the original route. LiTe does not mean easy. \nWhat you are purchasing is the route information. Once you purchase that info\, it is yours to use and ride the route at your leisure. Everyone who purchases the route information will be invited to participate in the kick-off event that marks the official beginning of the Florida Bikepacking season. Route information will be sent on August 1st. Once the information is sent\, no refunds can be offered\, and there is no changing of routes unless you purchase that additional information. In other words\, plenty of time to make up your mind! Again\, what you are purchasing is the information; there is no transfer or refunds after August 1st. \nWe ride this route for enjoyment and appreciation of the beautiful wildlife corridors located in the area. For fun\, riders can choose to have their finishing times compared to other participants. Those who choose to want to have their times compared agree to follow the rules of offers and to be tracked using trackleaders. Trackleaders offers rentals or the use of a tracking app\, or you can use your own Spot\, InReach\, or Zolio. Additionally\, Riders who choose to have their times compared can ride solo or as a team. \nEveryone who gets an invite to the kick-off event will also be invited to a Friday Night Dinner\, have access to a group camp\, and receive a Patch. \nAll proceeds from the event are used to continue the work of organizing amazing one-of-a-kind events and help support the effort to map new routes and steward the existing routes. This is a full-time job\, and additional Donations are always welcome and appreciated. \nQuestions?
