Save the date for the Northeast and Rocky Mountain Bikepacking Summits!

Last year we hosted our first Bikepacking Summit, written about on the Radavist, which brought together 100 participants over four days, to celebrate riding in beautiful landscapes, inclusive community building, and shared learning among backpackers of all levels.

This year we’re growing, with two even bigger summits in Colorado and New York!

What’s a Bikepacking Summit?

These events are open to everyone, from those curious about bikepacking to seasoned adventurers. Whether you’re looking to expand your bikepacking community or build your skills, we have something for you!

Our bikepacking summits are all about building a vibrant community, exploring the stunning local landscapes, and making bikepacking accessible to everyone. We’re passionate about creating a grassroots events that brings together bikepackers from diverse backgrounds and experience levels. Whether you’re a newbie eager to learn or a pro looking to connect with fellow enthusiasts, we’ve got something for you. Our carefully planned rides and activities are designed to help you discover and connect with these beautiful landscapes in a meaningful way.

We’ll be posted up at beautiful basecamps Friday and Saturday, with the days filled with workshops, rides, inspiring speakers, and an expo and makers mart — and plenty of time to get to know other each other. And then on Sunday we’ll take off for overnight trips of various levels.

At Bikepacking Roots, we believe in giving back to the trails and landscapes we love. Let’s come together to ride and also contribute to the preservation of these incredible landscapes and support of the rural communities that we ride through, ensuring they remain thriving and accessible for future generations.

Our summits are hosted by Bikepacking Roots in partnership with our local Regional Stewards who are excited to share their backyards and some of their favorite trails with you!
