SUMMARY:Waterways to the West Bike Camping with Out Our Front Door in Chicago\, IL
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=”74754″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_column_text css=””] \nRide Specifics\nMileage: Day 1: 110miles | Day 2: Varies | Day 3: 110 miles \nSupport: Self supported – you carry all of your own camping gear on your own bike. No vehicle support. \nLodging: Tent (camping gear not provided). We will stay at Starved Rock State Park Campground (IL DNR) located in the State Park at Utica Township\, IL 61372 (map). \nPace: 12-15mph \nTrail/Route: Trail/Route: Mixed terrain w/paved road\, smooth limestone\, and gravel. \nAge: Adult Ride (21+) \nTrip Description\nOne of the most beloved jewels near Chicagoland is Starved Rock State Park. It is one of Illinois’ ​most beautiful destinations. The park’s 18 canyons feature vertical walls of moss-covered stone and multiple waterfalls. Formed by glacial melt water that slices dramatically through tree-covered sandstone bluffs\, the Illinois River bluffs in Utica\, Illinois will surely percolate anyone’s curiosity. \nWe will learn about the world’s first major natural waterway reversal in human history as we traverse along the Chicago River\, from the heart of Chicago to the Illinois and Michigan Canal. Cold air starts to sweep across the land when we go back in time to relive a catastrophic flood that occurred between 14\,000 and 18\,000 years ago in the Midwestern United States and reshaped the land. On our off day from biking\, we’ll host a guided hike through the park \nThis is not your average group bike ride. At each break point and along the way\, our guides will immerse and educate in the history\, geography\, architecture and the uniquely beautiful natural habitats and ecosystems of North Eastern Illinois. Our groups are small and personable to ensure the knowledge of the land is passed on to riders. \nRead more about the 2023 adventure in this blog post. \nWhat’s Included\n\nCampsite and firewood\nFood for Day 1 dinner\, Day 2 dinner\, and Day 3 breakfast.\nEducation about our local history and nature\nReally nice and supportive guides\n\nWhat’s Not Included\n\nFood for Day 1 lunch\nFood for Day 2 breakfast and lunch\nFood for Day 3 lunch\nSnacks\n*We will stop at designated restaurants where you can buy your lunch\n\nAbout the Guides\nOur guides are part of a community of volunteers that believe in adventure and helping others find adventure right out our front door. They exude a welcoming\, supportive\, and inclusive spirit which are foundational values at OOFD. They have love and appreciation for their home and like sharing knowledge about that home with others\, thus helping the riders to develop a stronger sense of gratitude for our local history and nature. \nThe guides will be set with the route and an extensive script about the area you’ll be riding through with intentionally chosen breakpoints along the way. \nThey are more than someone to follow on the ride. They are trained and will be there to encourage and support you as well as support with mechanicals that may arise. \nTransfer/Refund/Cancellation Policy\nParticipant Cancellation: No Refunds. By registering\, you acknowledge and agree there will not be a refund if you cancel or do not show up for the event.

SUMMARY:Women's Bikepacking Series: Packing Your Bike for Bikepacking  in Durango\, Colorado

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\nPacking Your Bike for Bikepacking August 19 | 5:30 – 7:30 PM | Mountain Bike Specialists\, Durango\, CO Backstitched Bags — a local upcycled bikepacking bag maker — joins this session to talk through what gear you actually need\, how to fit it all on your bike\, and how to balance your load front to back and side to side. Bring your bike and gear if you have it. Topics include sleep kit\, food and hygiene\, water systems\, first aid and repair\, clothing\, electronics\, and evaluating resupply options on route. \nThis event is part of Bikepacking Roots’ Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada.

Truckee/Donner area is BEAUTIFUL\, and riding through the old train tunnels is FUN!\nThe Details: Park at the Safeway in Truckee CA. We roll out at 10am sharp\, then promptly open a magic portal to a beautiful dirty stinky world where time and capitalism no longer exist.\nThis was originally a @truckeebikepackingcollective route that @calliesunshinee then tweaked\, and holy smokes it’s a good one\, with some mellow singletrack\, a couple beautiful little lakes\, an amazing campsite in the shadow of Devil’s Peak\, and the longest abandoned railroad tunnels I’ve ever ridden through! This ride starts with a kicker of a climb\, but only totals 40 miles and +3353 feet of climbing over Saturday and Sunday. \nThis will be self-supported dispersed camping near Cascade Lakes (6700ft elevation)\, following LNT principles\, so bring: food\, sleep system\, a water filter\, a bike light for the tunnels\, and a way to bury your own poop (trowel). As always\, this is a casual open-invite trip. No sag\, and no registration or money is required\, but we’ll try to make sure nobody is left behind or stranded. 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. \nThe route link is in my bio. Be sure to download it in one form or another for offline navigation before the trip\, as cell service can be nonexistent in this area\, and if something unforeseen happens\, we want you to be able to navigate back to your vehicle safely. Jump into the comments or DM’s for questions or advice\, and we hope to see you there! 🖼️ by @hurrydive \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.

They exude a welcoming\, supportive\, and inclusive spirit which are foundational values at OOFD. They have love and appreciation for their home and like sharing knowledge about that home with others\, thus helping the riders to develop a stronger sense of gratitude for our local history and nature. \nThe guides will be set with the route and an extensive script about the area you’ll be riding through with intentionally chosen breakpoints along the way. \nThey are more than someone to follow on the ride. They are trained and will be there to encourage and support you as well as support with mechanicals that may arise. \nTransfer/Refund/Cancellation Policy\nParticipant Cancellation: No Refunds.

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\nCamping Gear Repair August 5 | 7:00 – 8:00 PM | Backcountry Experience\, Durango\, CO Learn how to repair your sleeping pad\, tent\, and sleeping bag in the field\, and how to maintain your gear between trips so it lasts. Includes a pre-trip gear checklist to help you leave nothing important behind. \nThis event is part of Bikepacking Roots’ Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada.

This project exists because of OTTA’s original vision and years of persistence to make this connection happen. They have championed this corridor from the very beginning\, and we’re honored to help bring it to life alongside them. \nFor two days and one night\, volunteers will camp near Scott Taylor Lake while helping build the Fuji Mountain/Bunchgrass Connector (FUGRASS)\, the final missing link connecting the Fuji Mountain and Bunchgrass trail systems. \nOnce complete\, this new section of singletrack will create a seamless backcountry connection between two of Oakridge’s most iconic riding and hiking destinations\, fulfilling a vision that has been years in the making. It will also become an important link within both the Oregon Timber Trail and the Orogenesis route\, connecting riders and hikers through some of Oregon’s most spectacular backcountry. \nThis landscape has been traveled and cared for by Indigenous peoples since time immemorial and later by generations of explorers\, workers\, and recreationists. Soon\, thanks to the work of volunteers\, it will offer a new way for people to experience this incredible place. \nNow we need your help to finish it. \nEvery foot of trail built this weekend brings us one step closer to opening a connection that volunteers have dreamed about for years. This is more than a trail work party. It’s a chance to spend a weekend in the mountains\, camp beside the trail you’re helping build\, share meals around camp\, and leave knowing you’ve helped shape the future of recreation in Oakridge for generations to come. \nSpace is limited so we can safely manage work crews\, tools\, meals\, and camping logistics. \nRSVP Required \nSign up here:\nhttps://bttr.im/pu5dy \n  \nThis event is part of Bikepacking Root’s Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada.

No gear? No problem we can help you find gear. \nRoute is about 6 chill miles to the campsite. \nThis is one of my favorite bike packing trips to do during the summer. The San Juan Islands are beautiful all year long but specially during the summer! For this trip we do not have a reservation for a campsite\, we may not even find a bike in spot available so people need to be prepared to set their tents in a “public” space on the campsite. The drive to Anacortes is 1 hour and half so make sure to leave with enough time to pay for parking\, unload your bike and meet us on the terminal to get your ticket! The bike ride to our campsite is 6 paved miles with rolling hills. More details about activities in the Island as we get closer to the date of our trip. Support in how to pack your bikes is provided\, packing list for food and gear provided! \nRegistration required. \nThis event is part of Bikepacking Roots’ Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada.

It hops on the historic Pony Express Trail\, and visits 3 different lakes! \nThe Details: July 25th\, park on the north side of the west end of D Street\, then ride over to Tahoe Gear Exchange where the nice folks there will be hosting our start at 9:30am. Quick rider’s meeting\, then we roll out at 10am sharp. \nThis is self-supported overnight bikecamping on gravel and dirt roads in the Tahoe Lake Basin. 51 miles\, with 4015 feet of climbing\, spread over two days. Tires at least 40c or bigger recommended for this terrain. We’ll briefly hop on the Tahoe Rim Trail\, so expect to hike a bike for a few moments\, otherwise you can expect delightful single-track\, some dirt road\, some bike path\, and a lil bit of riding on pavement.\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). “Bear Resistant Containers” are mandatory in the area of Round Lake where we’ll be camping. Many places like Mountain Sports Chico or Taylor Creek Visitor Center rent hard plastic bear cans\, or you can spend big bucks on lighter Ursack/Adotec bags. As always\, this is a casual open-invite trip. No 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. \nWe’re super excited to crack the seal on this beautiful area\, and with 3 lakes\, you’ll wanna bring a swim suit. Link to the route is in my bio\, be sure to download it for offline use in one form or another before the trip\, as cell service can be nonexistent in this area\, and this being a new route… even I won’t be 100% sure where we’re going 😂. Don’t hesitate to jump into the DM’s for any 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.

No vehicle support. \nLodging: Tent (camping gear not provided). We will stay at Illinois Beach State Park (IL DNR) located at 1 Lake Front Dr\, Zion\, IL 60099 (map). \nPace: 12-15mph \nTrail/Route: Paved road with minimal gravel incorporated and possible snow. \nAge: Mainly an adult ride (21+) though we are piloting a new concept with this ride (and the SWMI ride) this year. If a parent or guardian has a young person (14+ years old) that may be looking for a bigger challenge beyond our family overnight rides\, they are welcome to ride with us on this ride. Their parent or guardian must ride along with them. Its important to understand that this is a ride geared towards adults and there will be maybe only one or two people on the ride that are younger than 21 years old. It would be ideal if the adult has ridden on one of our adult overnights beforehand so they have an idea of what our rides are like. And since this is a new idea we are piloting\, we will look for your feedback after the event. \nTrip Description\nJoin us for a meandering ramble far down the shores of the mighty lake Michigan. Spend the night around a campfire and under the stars at Illinois Beach State Park ( Illinois’s most uninterrupted shoreline). Roll on trails used for 100s of years and end up on the world-famous Chicago Lakefront path as we end our journey in the great city of Chicago. \nWhat’s Included\n\nCampsite and firewood\nFood for Day 1 dinner and Day 2 breakfast\nEducation about our local history and nature\nReally nice and supportive guides\n\nWhat’s Not Included\n\nFood for Day 1 lunch\nFood for Day 2 lunch\nSnacks\n*We will stop at designated restaurants where you can buy your lunch\n\nAbout the Guides\nOur guides are part of a community of volunteers that believe in adventure and helping others find adventure right out our front door. They exude a welcoming\, supportive\, and inclusive spirit which are foundational values at OOFD. They have love and appreciation for their home and like sharing knowledge about that home with others\, thus helping the riders to develop a stronger sense of gratitude for our local history and nature. \nThe guides will be set with the route and an extensive script about the area you’ll be riding through with intentionally chosen breakpoints along the way. \nThey are more than someone to follow on the ride. They are trained and will be there to encourage and support you as well as support with mechanicals that may arise. \nTransfer/Refund/Cancellation Policy\nParticipant Cancellation: No Refunds. By registering\, you acknowledge and agree there will not be a refund if you cancel or do not show up for the event. Tickets cannot be resold. \nTransfers: You can transfer three days before the event. You can only transfer to an event in the same calendar year. Fill out this transfer form at least three days before your ride departs\, and we will follow up in a week or less with instructions on how to register for your new event. Contact us if you have any issues. \nOrganizer Cancellation: Full Refund | Nobody wants an event to be canceled. In the rare circumstance the organizer cancels the event at their discretion\, registered participants will receive a full refund. To date\, this organization has canceled minimal events. \nWeather and Rain: We do not cancel an event for rain\, storm\, or any other weather. We ride rain or shine. Chicago weather is typically passing\, if the weather requires\, we will pause the ride and wait in a sheltered space then continue biking. Some of the best views of the lake and greenery on the trails are after a rainstorm. \nRadical Inclusivity and Non-Discrimination Agreement\nThis is included in your registration form. Showing up with a welcoming and inclusive spirit is crucial and expected of everyone that rides with us. \n  \n  \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: Route Planning Deep-Dive 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\nRoute Planning Deep-Dive July 16 | 6:00 – 7:00 PM | Durango Cyclery\, Durango\, CO Limited to 10 participants. Learn how to find existing routes\, build your own using the best map apps and trail resources\, and think through the logistics that make or break a bikepacking trip — water availability\, resupply options\, camping restrictions\, local bike shops along the route\, traveling with your bike\, and more. 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. Bikepacking Roots is not involved in the hosting of this event unless otherwise noted. Please reach out to the organizer for more information. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
