There and Back Again: A Bikepacking Adventure 🚲🏕️
Last year's inaugural There and Back Again was an incredible success. A group of adventurous riders loaded up their bikes, headed out of Regina, shared miles, meals, campfire stories, and memories that lasted long after the ride was over. This September, we're doing it all again, and we'd love to have you join us for Year Two.
The Adventure
Every great journey starts with a ride.
There and Back Again is an overnight bikepacking adventure from Regina to Lumsden Beach Camp and back, taking riders through gravel roads, rolling prairie, and the beautiful climbs of the Qu'Appelle Valley before settling in for an evening of camping, community, and campfire conversation.
Day 1: Approximately 60 km from Regina to Lumsden Beach Camp, including stops at Wascana Trails and Lumsden.
Day 2: Approximately 60 km back to Regina.
This is a no-drop ride, meaning we'll ride as a group at a steady pace of approximately 15 km/h. Be prepared for some challenging climbs, but know that the focus is on completing the journey together.
