yea it was alot of meat. i made a bike trailer last year. it did the trick, but my bike needs disc brakes. the pads and rims were so hot that i could not even touch the rims. the trailer needs to be re-enforced to say the least. to see my truck at the end of the day was a breath of fresh air

Dropped off are food, on the way in my breaks broke and rims got bent. Packed the bike out on my back... The next year i spent the cashola and got a great bike. I do need to get a trailer for it.

I use my Super Mag Hauler with a hitch I found online at the following address. http://www.go2marine.com/product.do?no=11643F (http://www.go2marine.com/product.do?no=11643F)
It works pretty slick.

Appreciate the info on the bike as well. I plan on biking in this year as well, and now have some additional info that will help greatly.
The info on the brakes, hitch, and trailer will all be considered when scouting is complete and the hunting begins :)
