SUMMARY:AMC 150 Relay: A Rugged New England Bikepacking Adventure
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”72719″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_column_text css=””] \n  \nThe Appalachian Mountain club is hosting a three-day bikepacking adventure on a route that showcases everything we love (and sometimes curse) about true New England bikepacking. Expect a journey that’s challenging\, varied\, and beautiful — where forest\, water\, and weather conspire to keep you humble and inspired in equal measure. This off-road adventure threads together rugged trails\, remote forest roads\, and rough backcountry connectors — mostly unpaved\, with short stretches of pavement to link it all together. The route connects the Richardson–Zlogar Cabin area in Northfield\, MA to Barre\, MA\, with two overnights along the way. \nVisit the event page for more details and to register. \nThis event is part of Bikepacking Root’s Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada.

SUMMARY:Women's Bikepacking Series: Backcountry Bike Repair in Durango\, Colorado
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”74028″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nThe Bikepacking Skills You’ve Been Looking For — Right Here in Durango\nHave you always wanted to go bikepacking but didn’t know where to start? Or maybe you’ve already hit the trail and want to sharpen your skills? This summer\, TripOutside and local Durango bikepacker Sam Lewandowski are hosting a four-part workshop series designed to give new and aspiring bikepackers everything they need to get out there with confidence. \nEach workshop tackles a different set of essential bikepacking skills — from fixing a broken chain in the backcountry to planning your own route from scratch. Sessions are hosted at some of Durango’s best local bike and outdoor shops\, keeping groups small (15 or fewer participants) for direct\, hands-on learning. The series is aimed toward women but open to anyone who wants to learn. \nRegistration for each workshop requires a donation (suggested $10+) to Bikepacking Roots\, a nonprofit that has spent nearly a decade mapping and stewarding over 35\,000 miles of bikepacking routes across the country. Every dollar goes directly toward protecting the public lands and routes we all ride. If you donate $10 or more\, you are entered into a Grand Prize Sweepstakes to win an Otso Fenrir Ti custom-built bikepacking bike. \n\nBackcountry Bike Repair June 17 | 6:30 – 8:00 PM | 2nd Ave Sports\, Durango\, CO Learn how to handle the most common mechanical issues you’ll face on a backcountry bikepacking trip. Professional mechanics from 2nd Ave Sports walk you through brake adjustments\, drivetrain repairs\, tire plugging\, spoke issues\, and more. Topics include what to keep in your repair kit\, adjusting and troubleshooting brakes and derailleurs\, fixing a broken chain\, plugging a tire\, handling a sidewall tear\, and emergency field repairs for racks and pedals. Ends with open Q&A. \nThis event is part of Bikepacking Roots’ Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada.

They have a ton of rad merch\, so show up early if you wanna support the shop that designed this sweet route for us. \nThis is self-supported overnight bikecamping on gravel and dirt roads in the Tahoe National Forest area. Only 35 miles total\, but with 4900 feet of climbing\, spread over two days. Tires at least 40c or bigger are recommended for this terrain\, and bring your climbing gears for this one.\nThis will be dispersed camping following LNT principles\, so bring: food\, sleep system\, a water filter\, and a way to bury your own poop (trowel). As always\, this is a casual open-invite trip. \nNo sag\, and no registration or money are required\, but we’ll do our best to make sure nobody is left behind or stranded. Please download the route just in case though. We all wear helmets and ask that you do as well. \nThese rides are at a conversational pace\, and we stick together. If you want to KOM your Strava or impress people by being first up the climb\, don’t bother coming\, as the best of the party is at the back of the pack. \nThis is one of our most popular trips of the summer\, with a couple lovely swim stops on the Yuba River. Link to the route is in my bio\, so be sure to download it in one form or another before the trip\, as cell service can be nonexistent in this area. Don’t hesitate to jump into our DM’s for questions\, and we hope to see you there! \nThis event is part of BIkepacking Root’s Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada.

SUMMARY:Swift Campout Overnighter on Summer Solstice
DESCRIPTION:This event is hosted by BIkepacking Roots Community Steward Tyler Burton. \nJoin Lichen Bike Tours for a fun weekend overnight adventure on the longest day of the year.\nIf you are only going to do one camping and cycling trip in 2026\, let it be this one. It’s fun\, the hills are at an absolute minimum\, and it’s camping on flat ground with a pavillion\, picnic tables\, and grills. This trip is for all fitness levels and all body types and is excellent for first-timers. Helmets required! \nThis trip is 2 days and 1 night with 30 miles of riding and around 1000ft of climbing. It’s a celebration of bringing people together to ride bikes and camp outdoors. You don’t need 14\,000ft peaks\, you don’t have to be a racer\, you don’t have to ride 3000 miles\, you don’t need to spend money on the newest equipment. It’s about likin’ bikin’ and doing the damn thing\, preferably with other enthusiastic people. \nSwift Campout is an international cycling and camping event on the summer solstice every year\, organized by bicycle bags maker Swift Industries. “On June 21st\, pack up your camp gear to spend the longest day on your bike.” We price this at the minimum to cover insurance costs and make a donation to the community park we’re staying in. Lichen Bike Tours isn’t making any money on this. \nThis is a sunshine-preferred ride because we do not want to drag new riders through cold June rains on their first trip. Our rain date will be one day earlier\, from Friday the 19th at 6pm – Saturday the 20th at 2pm. \nThis event is part of Bikepacking Root’s Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada. Bikepacking Roots is not involved in the hosting of this event unless otherwise noted. Please reach out to the organizer for more information.

It’s something you have always thought you might do\, but eek! It’s intimidating! So many unanswered questions\, and so many things to think about! \nWhat makes a good touring bike? Can you just use your own road bike? Where do you start when it comes to choosing a location or route? What gear do you need? What are the best brands? What do you pack?! How do you make sure you’re prepared for an emergency? How do you stay safe? \nYou asked for this workshop and now\, we’re delivering! In partnership with the biking experts at Building Momentum\, this workshop will cover different packing setups\, real-world tips and tricks\, and a quick overview of choosing the right bike for your needs. As an in-person workshop\, you will have the chance to see how bikes are packed and what you’ll need to hit the road yourself! \nAt Bad Academy\, we pride ourselves on creating non-intimidating and safe spaces for women and gender-non-conforming people to come together to learn and\, more importantly\, have fun! Come expand your mind with other like-minded Baddies in a place where asking a million questions is not only welcome\, but encouraged 🙂 \nThis event is intimate with limited spots and we’ll have light snacks\, beverages\,  and a dope DUER raffle! \nSign up quick! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThis event is part of Bikepacking Root’s Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada.
