Fast and Light or Loaded and Comfortable: Bikepacking Setups in the "Wild" (of BRC Hollymead)

Schedule

Location

300 Connor Dr, Charlottesville, VA 22911-5605, United States | Charlottesville, VA

From a bikepacking setup that prioritizes comfort in camp and taking it slow, to a highly efficient speed oriented setup that trades some comfort for lighter and faster miles - and those in between - there are myriad of ways in which one can load a bike with the gear needed to spend anywhere from one night to multiple days out in the wild.
How this will work: a group of us, all with a diverse array of experiences and preferred setups, will bring our bikes and gear and set up "camp" in Blue Ridge Cyclery's Hollymead location.
From there, attendees can go from setup to setup and ask questions of each style and methodology.
