Dog Bike Packing, road & single track with Burley Coho trailer

We rode from Lookout Point Dam near Lowell Oregon along the lake for 11.3 miles. Rio rode in the trailer on flat gravel and pavement until we reached School Creek road. He trotted along for 3.6 miles as we climbed a steep gravel road that ascended 1000' to our campsite on a closed road.
We camped right in the middle of the closed road with a small fire and cowboy music. We made popcorn on our alcohol stoves. We had very good firewood and few mosquitos. It rained at 2am and 5am so we scrambled to put up our shelters. It was very difficult to drive tent staked into the gravel road bed. Johns hatchet made it possible.
I put all my camping gear in the Coho trailer for a fun 2.4 mile narrow single track descent. Rio enjoyed running off leash down that trail. The last 2.5 miles were on gravel back to Signal Point boat launch where we ate lunch. It poured down rain just when my wife came to pick us up.
John rode his new Surly Karate Monkey with plus size 27.5 x 3" tires. We have 1 x 11 gearing.
I rode my 2018 Trek 1120 with 30 x 3" tires and pulled the Burley Coho XC trailer

awesome trails!

Great stuff!

Rio is great with her trailer. I've always thought about getting one for Zora but for now she just trots. I bet the super low gearing helps a lot on the single track.

Can’t do the tarp tent in Florida with bugs and snakes! Yikes! Trying to decide on Burley Coho or Bob Ibex.

Great video! What did you add to the trailer for your dog? Looking to do the same with mine and I like having something up front for extra support for my pup. Thanks!

[@AdventuresWithUnkadee]

Love your video! It's just right. How did the Coho do on the switchbacks? It looked like you were able to negotiate them without dismounting.

Hello. What is your dog weight?

[@DartmoorTramper]

What's the purpose of the track? Just wondered if it's either an animal track or something that's been developed by hikers / bikers etc. Many thanks, Jon

[@tombarrett7096]

The single track is part of the Eugene to Pacific Crest trail developed for hiking and mountain biking. This section is near the end of the Winberry Divide trail. It gets very little use and is very narrow. All the winter blow down was cut out so it was a fun ride.

I want to buy a Coho XC for camping this July but they no longer ship the standard QR Skewer, and none are available until late summer. Would anyone sell me theirs if you aren't using it?

[@AdventuresWithUnkadee]

They're all recalled as defective, so you wouldn't want to use it anyway.

[@scottwillispiano2241]

@@AdventuresWithUnkadee The skewers were defective?

[@AdventuresWithUnkadee]

@@scottwillispiano2241 Yes. Not visually apparent but seems as though a few have failed upon installation or while riding. They are replacing them free of charge sometime in September. In order to receive the replacement one has to prove destruction of the old one, which is entirely correct imho. If you want to use a Coho before then you might consider a thru-axle connection.

[@scottwillispiano2241]

@@AdventuresWithUnkadee I have been waiting to buy mine until the skewers are available, thank you so much for the info!

@@scottwillispiano2241 Sure thing.
