Default Soon to be on a bicycle up/canoe back trip.

Sounds fun. Looks like almost 60 miles one-way as the crow flies - how far
is it as the bike pedals or as the boat paddles?
Here's a picture I took yesterday of the setup for towing my kayak:

This was just for a day trip on a reservoir - if I need to carry the bike I
tow my double kayak instead.


Hey, that's (more or less) the same set-up I use... is that a "Sportsman's Guide" two-wheel trailer I see? I use the same one! As for the mileage... it's 82, following the Little Miami River (trail, State Park, and National Scenic River).

Very similar carts have been marketed under a variety of names. I bought
mine from LLBean about 15 years ago and it was called a "Swedish Canoe
Cart." It came with tire tubes that used "Woods" valves which are almost a
cross between Presta and Shrader.

Enjoy your journey!
