Some buddies and I went mountain biking at Soquel Demonstration Forest in Santa Cruz on Saturday and thought I'd post some pics of my AV loaded with 5 mountain bikes and all of our gear.
I'm using a Yakima rack (w Q30 clips) attached directly to the bed covers with the BOA bike mounts. Four bikes fit on the mounts and the fifth (as well as all of the front wheels and other gear) goes in the bed. The bedslide is a godsend for this. Highly recommended.
I have been officially nominated as the official transporter for our bike group and a lot of other bikers came up and asked me about the setup.
This is the perfect transport vehicle! Everyone was comfortable and we had all of our gear secured and rain-protected.
