Curious about the world of overnight biking trips? Bikepacking involves carrying some or all of your overnight camping gear on your bike. Join us for a semi-supported trip to learn the basic skills of bikepacking! No personal bikepacking equipment is required.


Join us for a fun weekend of bikepacking on August 10th and 11th, 2024. Before we hit the trails, we'll gather for a (required) Pre-Trip Packing Party on August 9th from 6:00-8:00pm (location to be announced soon). This gathering is your chance to meet fellow participants, sort out gear arrangements, and get prepared for our journey ahead. On Saturday, August 10th, we'll convene at 9:00am at our meeting location to depart on our bikepacking adventure through scenic landscapes and natural beauty. We plan to return by 3:00pm on Sunday, August 11th, concluding our trip with unforgettable memories, a (hopefully) ignited passion for bikepacking, and new friends!

Organized by Shifting Gears in partnership with LOAM Equipment, this program welcomes participants of all experience levels who are eager to explore the world of bikepacking. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or new to multi-day biking adventures, our trip is designed to cater to everyone's interests and abilities. 

Expect a weekend of continuous biking on both Saturday and Sunday, covering varied mileage and elevation. Any type of bike is welcome, though expect time spent on easy singletrack. We provide full support throughout, including assistance with equipment needs.

The program will include 10 participants, a Trip Leader, a Support Leader, and a Van Support.
