Adam (he/him, Gonzales, LA) was raised showing horses and riding bikes, and has always been drawn to adventure, fitness, and the great outdoors. Time spent camping, stargazing, kayaking, going to Cardinal’s baseball games, and fun family vacations with his wife and daughters is important to him, as is biking. A proud ambassador for Pactimo, Picky Bars, and Bike Law, Adam is also the creator of @AdventurePacking on Instagram and Facebook, and the current Vice President of NOMAMBO, the New Orleans area mountain biking group that build and maintain the trails in the Mississippi River’s Bonnet Carré Spillway. He likes to work hard, play hard, and spread the joy of bikepacking by bringing fellow cyclists together.
I have 5+ years of route developing experience, mostly for customers of a bike shop, specifically for events like the Fitz-Barn, Around the Rock, Togwotee Winter Classic, Wydaho One Hundred, etc. I have worked with Kurt to help develop some routes Bikepacking Roots has already used, including the Maah Daah Hey and Intermountain Connectors from the WWR to GDMR. I’ve recently begun sharing more routes openly and publicly as a Ride With GPS Area Ambassador. These routes include Wydaho One Hundred, North Valley Agriramble, and the Great Rift Dirt Tour.
