When our friend Nils invites us bikecamping, not having "the right gear" is not an excuse. This weekend 6 She Wolves made it up to Henninger Flats with various setups ranging from "sik" to "grrl you cray". Henninger is around 20 miles east and uphill from Los Angeles. The last 3 miles of the ride is up, Mount. Wilson Toll Road, a sandy dirt fire road/hiking trail with 1700+ feet of elevation gain. The summer heat and the steep grades tested even the strongest riders but the views and camaraderie were well worth it. For a few riders in our group this was their first time camping by bike, but it's safe to say it won't be the last. Stay tuned for more She Wolf ADVENTURE Team reports!
