Grand Teton National Park Ride: June 2015
I took a two-day ride to Grand Teton National Park in June of 2015. I rode my new Zongshen RX3, and had an opportunity to test my Catoma Lone Rider tent. The weather was great, and I enjoyed a very good time.
Here are some photographs of my Zongshen RX3 on the route east to Jackson.

After arriving in Jackson, I rode through town and set up camp in Grand Teton National Park. My Catoma Lone Rider tent worked very well.

Beautiful pics as always Spud! Love the mountains .
I can see the tent strapped in front of your topbox, but where do you keep your sleeping bag, air mattress, etc? Very clean pack job, you must be liking the side panniers? |

Thank you, Stew. Everything easily packed into the luggage, with room to spare. Indeed, I love the stock panniers.
