Getting your gear and bike setup right makes all the difference when you’re heading out for a ride around Lake Chapala.

In this video, I share a quick 7-minute look at my current setup, what I carry, and what it’s actually like putting a ride together out here. Because filming never goes totally smoothly, I didn’t hide the mistakes—I just left the bloopers right in place as they happened with a quick take-two marker.

I was serious when I filmed it. I put my tongue firmly in my cheek when I edited it. Give it a 7 minute spin, see if you spot an alien, and let me know if you liked the format. Engage!
