Replying to @BlackburnDesign
@BlackburnDesign Tubeless Floor Pump allows you to charge a larger chamber in the pump, then flip a lever to release the air really quickly to seat tubeless tires. Then flip a lever to disengage that chamber & use the pump like any old floor pump. Pretty sweet! #pumppumppumpitup

The @BlackburnDesign Mammoth Flip Pump is small enough to carry in a backpack or attach to a frame and comes with features that you don’t often see on a portable pump. trib.al/vahLtRq

Wild camping at "Tapera Verde Trail". It took me 3 days to ride 100 kilometers from Lago Verde to Villa Tapera... SO many fly fishing possibilities made a very slow progress! I'm exploring Patagonia with a bike, a packraft, & a fly fishing rod for the next couple of months 😊 – at Lago Verde, Chile

Rosario de la Frontera (Salta). I'm #cycling through beautiful but impoverished rural areas, to make, print & give away portraits to families who won't otherwise ever have a family photograph... and also to donate water filters & solar lights to the families who need them most!

Even when it’s freak’n freezing outside the team still has training to do, today they tested out our upstairs area & put our Wahoo, Kinetic & Blackburn trainers to work. We are still figuring out what all we can do in our new space & excited about the options. ( 📸 @the_tiki

At this year’s Steamboat Ramble Ride, filmmakers followed 3 riders over the 3-day ride, experiencing the pain and excitement through their eyes. Watch this really nicely done series. Spoiler alert, our favorite is Day 2 with past contributor Mary Taylor: bikepacking.com/plog/ramble-…
