So that’s my little secret out in the open … everytime I’m out riding I find myself drawn to staring at the hills and mountain sides looking for natural cover to sleep under. Caves, overhangs and cairns can all make fantastic sheltered spots. Some stuff is just big enough to keep you out of the […]
