Changing Gear from Bike Touring to Bikepacking
The Western Wildlands Bikepacking Route will have us cycling off-pavement for over 2,250 miles (80% of the route). All that dirt has us re-thinking our bike touring gear list. The biggest change will be to the bicycles themselves, but we’ve also overhauled our bags, toolkit, and sleeping gear. We hope the changes will ensure we’re ready to tackle an extended, backcountry cycling trip.
