E351 – Ryan & Val Go Bike Camping in CA



Brock met Ryan LaBarre at Velo Cult and they got to talking about bicycling and camping.  Ryan and Val Brown of The Om Cycle experimented with camping by bike in Santa Cruz, San Francisco & Napa Valley before moving to Portland and camping at Ainsworth State Park.  We talk about the experiences, what they learned, and what they want to do next!

Also: Brock & Adele ride the Steens Mountain area, and Aaron asks a question about road use.

Thanks to our generous sponsor The Beer Mongers and our Patreon donors that keep us going!
