Bikepacking 101 with ZenCog Bike Shop in Jacksonville

Unlocking Adventure: An Evening of Bikepacking Insights & Inspiration

Are you curious about a thrilling way to explore the world on two wheels? Join us at Honey Pot Collective for an engaging and inspiring evening dedicated to Bikepacking – where cycling meets backcountry adventure!

Whether you're a seasoned cyclist looking for a new challenge or completely new to the idea of bike-powered exploration, this free event is tailored for you.

I will journey all the way from DeLand, Florida (on two wheels, of course!) to share his passion and expertise. During this clinic, you'll learn:

• What is Bikepacking? Understanding the differences between bikepacking and traditional bicycle touring.
• Gear Essentials: Navigating the world of bikepacking bags, bikes, and must-have equipment.
• Route Selection: Tips and tricks for planning your next adventure, from singletrack to gravel roads.
• Florida's Bikepacking Legacy: A fascinating look into the history of bikepacking in our own Sunshine State.

Beyond the practical tips, you'll also hear deeply personal stories about how bikepacking has profoundly influenced our speaker's life, transforming challenges into profound moments of growth and discovery.

As part of the evening festivities there will be a chance for everyone to win prizes as there will be a raffle of schwag, from various contributors and sponsors!

Special Invitation for Local Riders!

If you're a local bicycle tourer or bikepacker, we warmly invite you to bring your own packed bike! This will be a fantastic opportunity for everyone to view different packing styles, discuss gear choices, and further enrich this unique learning and community-building experience.

This event is completely free to attend! If you'd like to support the ongoing work of mapping new routes and bringing more inspiring events like this to our community, there will be a donation option available when you secure your free ticket. Every contribution helps fuel future adventures, and your generosity is truly appreciated!

Come ready to learn, share, and be inspired to embark on your next bikepacking journey.
