Some adventures are better together! Bike tires crunching on a gravel road, exploring hidden corners where few travel, eating meals under the stars, roasting marshmallows over a campfire, sipping coffee in the cool morning air…
Bespoke Bikepacking Adventure Co. is partnering with Niina Baum (@niinatheadventuress) for a fall hot tent adventure on the Keweenaw Peninsula. Enjoy the fall weather along Lake Superior, meet fellow bikepackers, explore quiet places, eat good food, and experience something a little different. We will explore the beautiful Keweenaw Peninsula between Lac La Belle and Copper Harbor over one night and two days on a mix of pavement, gravel, sand, and singletrack. Meals and hot tents will be provided; there will even be a sauna! All you need for this overnighter is your bike, something to sleep on, and a heart open to having fun. Yes, it’s that simple!

The adventure begins in Lac La Belle. Overnight accommodations are available at Mt Bohemia for before or after the adventure.
