Clinic 1 (10/6 @ 10am) is a Loaded Bike Q&A: The organizers will bring some examples of various ways to load your gear and open up the room for any questions you might have.
Clinic 2 (1013 @ 10am) is a bag and gear swap and set-up how to: Bring all your gear and see what works, what you might need to swap or get help setting up and loading up your bags.
In Clinic 3 (10/18 @ 6pm) the group will meet up fully loaded for a short shake out ride to see that everything works out on the bike. In addition to the clinics, join the organizers for a series of build-up rides to prepare for the bikepacking route. This introduction to bikepacking overnighter will require the cyclist to be able to ride 30 miles over mixed terrain, and the build-up series can help get you there!
