Bikepacking 101 - Q&A and Gear Demo

Bikepacking 101 is another addition to our series of FREE pop up Q&A sessions being held at our retail center at 3800 Wheeler Ave. Do you enjoy camping? Do you enjoy cycling? Bikepacking is the incredible combo sport that allows you the best of both worlds. It's tough to beat the opporunity to travel under your own power and sleep under the stars. Bikepacking is bound to be your new favorite hobby!

In this class we'll go over all the basics for getting into it including options for touring bikes, bags, and racks, how to mount it all, and packing the appropriate gear. In addition we will cover what it takes to plan a route, with some local sugestions. We'll also have some of our own personal equipment available to look at including tents, stoves, clothing, food, and our favorite camp chair.

BYOB (bring your own bike) is encouraged if you have specific questions about fitting things like racks or bags.
