What's Missing from Your Touring Gear?

It's nearly June, and I know everyone out there is gearing up for a summer of cycling -- day trips, overnights, long weekends, and, of course, cross-country tours. What's missing from your pile of gear? Let's see, you've got your panniers, lights, water bottles -- maybe you won a Osprey Verve hydration pack earlier this month from Adventure Cycling -- bike shorts, U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS) jersey (maybe a USBRS cycling cap too?)...what's missing?

Your BOB Trailer, silly!

And we have a fun way for you to get one and make the world a better place for cycling at the very same time.

All you need to do is create a short video clip telling the world why the creation of a U.S. Bicycle Route System is important to you. It's quicker and easier than you think. Want proof of how easy? This video took me 3 minutes to shoot.

 

Step 1
: Grab a tripod, table top, or a close friend to hold the camera (Or use your phone camera and film yourself.)

Step 2: Stand a deliver! Stand in front of the camera and deliver your message about why you support the USBRS. We even have a sample script (PDF) that you can use as a jumping off point. (It also helps to press the record button on your camera.)
Step 3: Upload your video to YouTube.
Step 4: Email the link to wbateman@adventurecycling.org. Our media director, Winona, will add it to the Adventure Cycling YouTube playlist.
Step 5: Share your video link with all your friends and get them to watch and share it.
Step 6: Win a Yak Plus BOB Trailer! (Okay, this only applies if you get the most views on your video compared with all the other campaign videos. So, make sure you share it with everyone!)


Take 5 minutes right now to make your USBRS video and win this exciting BOB Trailer prize!

The Planet Bike bike-safe gift packs go to Sheri Hanna, Raymond Foss, and David Cousins! Deborah Douglas won the limited edition Ortlieb panniers.

For another chance to win, donate before 11:59pm EST tomorrow (Thursday, May 24th) and be entered in the raffle to win a SERFAS Bike Transport case (pictured above) from Bike Flights to help you with all your bike-shipping needs. This case is awesome -- totally squish and toss proof, ready to survive airline baggage loading process.

And add this to your gear list: a beautiful, limited edition USBRS cycling cap, designed specially by Walz Caps for the campaign. To get one, just donate $100 or more. But move fast because supplies are limited.

Congratulations to all of our winners and thanks for supporting the U.S. Bicycle Route System!

Today’s entry is sort of like a three course meal.  Possibly four courses actually.  Practically a feast… First off let’s start with last night’s dinner.  Butternut squash risotto.  Very few ingredients at all really (olive oil, black olives, arborio rice, homemade chicken stock, butternut squash roasted with salt and tarragon, and red wine), and the [...]
