Bikepacking is most easily described as the union of mountain biking and backpacking. Compared to asphalt touring, bikepackers traditionally operate within the backcountry realm, carry lighter loads, and utilize a pack system that affixes directly to the bike. We also find solace in a more wholistic approach to two wheel travel; scouting our own routes, DIY gear projects, and taking part in “underground” events like the Tour Divide. These are our stories.
