Greetings from NJ
I'm a total noob to bikepacking but not to mtbing or backpacking.  I've hiked some of the AT and I bike throughout NJ and some of NC.  I recently read an article on bikepacking and I am so damn interested in it.  I thought I'd register to make some connections and find out more.
About me:
34, married with 2 girls.  Love anything outdoors-kayaking, snowboarding, camping, biking, sports-everything but fishing (it's just to boring).  In my stable I have 3 hardtails (2 build ups), my newest love is my Misfit-I'd say don't tell my wife but she knows.
I'm always looking to meet up with other riders anywhere.  I'm hoping to start collecting gear and start after the winter-anyone doing long rides on the east coast?
