b'PATS PICKS FORTHE GEARHEADSTRUSTY TREADSPat used Michelin Anakee Wild tires, which are made for off-road riding with long-lasting, durable tread. They are designed to provide comfort, enable traction and handle precision for windy, narrow roads and rocky terrain. Pro Tip: Pack a patch kit containing extra plugs and air compressors. Youll be able to repair the inevitable flat and get back on the road. DURABLE THREADSLook for flexible, heavily vented jackets and pants, with protective padding in the elbows, shoulders, back, knees and hips, respectively. Bring slip-over rain gear (jacket, pants, and glove covers), to pull over your protective gear. Pat wore a nylon mesh Klim Baja S4 jacket, Baja pants, BMW gloves, Klim Gore Tex slipover rain gear, Klim Krios Pro Adventure helmet and Revlt Expedition H2O boots.DIGITAL TRAIL MAPDownload the trail route for your next adventure biking trip to your GPS transmitter system.
