2021 Micro-Tour 7 was a 57 mile self-supported bike ride to Ward Pound Ridge for a night of camping. The trip was made far more interesting as it happened as Hurricane Henri hit the east coast.
This was originally called “Micro-Tour 5”, but we inserted 2 trip previous to this, so I adjusted the number to 7
I used this trip to test out ALOT of new equipment, from a new bike, bag setup, bar setup and GPS device. I will write about these experiences at another time.
