Join us to explore fast-packing and leisure packing, and discover different ways to make the most of your next adventure!
About this Event

Dreaming of riding to the Gulf Islands with nothing but a tent and a few essentials? Or crossing mountain ranges in faraway lands by bike? Whether you're curious about fast-packing, bikepacking, or simply getting out there, this workshop is for you. Bring a seat (blanket or camping chair), a beverage, and something to scribble on—we'll be chatting all things bikepacking for our next edition of Story Time (in the park).

What we'll cover:

• What is bikepacking and why do we do it?
• Types of bikepacking — from dreamy to sendy: overnighters, weekend trips, expedition trips, ultra-endurance racing
• Gear systems & packing
• How to route plan
• The realities of bikepacking
• How to start!
