Introduction to Bikepacking with Life Above 8 and The Nxrth in Wisconsin
March 17 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeJoin Seeley Dave in the Freight Station Theater at the Sawmill Saloon for a free, fun afternoon learning about bikepacking.
Dave will bring the Bikepacking Gear Lending Library he maintains so you can see the different shelters, sleeping systems, bikepacking bags and other gear available for locals to use. He will have tents set up, air mattresses, bikepacking bags, etc., all for you to check out in person.
You can borrow what you need from the Bikepacking Gear Lending Library to give bikepacking a try without buying lots of expensive gear. Bring your bike and try fitting the bikepacking bags to see how they fit.
Dave will also give a short presentation about different routes in the area, which GPS navigation systems he recommends, and bikepacking websites he refers to for routes and gear reviews.
