...lives in Seneca, once in a while we get down there and ride into the mountains, Mountain Rest, Caesar's Head, etc. Some really nice back roads in the Tri-state area.

I did pretty much the same as Serotta, used a 4x4 fence post and Yakima cam-lock fork holder. Used carriage bolts. Used the Yakima front wheel holder from my old roof-mount system and bolted that to the 4x4 as well. Works pretty well, BUT I have a bedrug, and where the rear tire rests on the bedrug floor it has formed a depression that won't go away. The pressure of the small contact spot (road bike = very thin tires) and the 20lb bike is enough to cause the depression. I think the bedrug backing flowed out from under the pressure point.
I also strung a cable through the bed tie down and the frame with a lock to discourage the casual thief.
