After an injury that kept Seeley Dave off the bike for a few months, he is back rambling with a new co host and new direction for the show. In the intro to this episode, Dave is joined by his dog Cowboy. Later in the show Dave visits Greg Smith at Everyday Cycles in Milwaukee, where they look over Dave's new Omnium Cargo V3, which is set up specifically for dogpacking. Greg also shows off a new Omnium E Mini-Max V3 and some cool Omnium accessories.

Well, it’s been a month since the last Ramble. I guess that is better than the two months between show 9 and 10. Anyway, Seeley Dave and TJ are back for Northwoods Ramble Show 11 and a review of the winter that wasn’t. 2024 started with a New Year's Day paddle down the Namekagon River for Dave and Liz. With almost no snow this winter, we go snow whale (swale?) watching to see the huge piles of manmade snow the Birkie has stored and intends to spread out to create a 10K loop for the 50th-anniversary. TJ explains how labor-intensive the Birkie’s snowmaking capabilities are. We discuss the huge economic hit the area has taken from winter's lack of visitors. Dave gives an update on his frozen lake riding goals.

After a hiatus of almost two months, Seeley Dave and TJ are back on another Northwoods Ramble. In this episode, TJ gives an end-of-the-year overview of the new Trek Trails powered by OTM at Telemark. Dave goes back to the 414 for the 22nd annual Santa Cycle Rampage. The show includes some Santa Shenanigans, but Dave misses out on perfect black ice on the south end of Lake Owen while in Milwaukee, and wonders if chasing the ephemeral is a healthy behavior. Dave also gets out the packraft and does his first winter bikerafting trip. TJ then talks about skiing the Birkie course with a packraft. The bikepacking gear lending library also now includes Old Man Mountain Divide racks for mountain and fat bikes.
