That's why I do it the way I do it; I only did like a day and a half on route this year, and the rest of the time I'm either riding out, riding back home, or just fucking around in a state park somewhere for a day or two. The bags are heavy but they have their advantages.

    Frannie is a 2019 Salsa Vaya.

    Steel frame with a Shimano 105 drivetrain. We roll tubeless. She typically hauls between 20 and 40 pounds of gear depending on the season. I used to ride carbon, but once I hit my 40s every ride started to hurt a little more, so I moved to steel. Unloaded, the frame weighs about 19 lbs, but it handles smooth as silk.

    I would spend 8 hours a day on this thing if I didn't have a job.
