SUMMARY:Gila 100 Bikepack Grand Depart
DESCRIPTION:Formerly the long course of the Antelope Peak Challenge\, it was later turned into it’s own event beginning at Picketpost and finishing at Tiger Mine TH in Oracle. After participation dwindled (this is a super hard single day ride with the fastest riders completing it in 12 hours\, and stragglers finishing in 20+) organizers have decided to experiment with breaking this outstanding stretch of the Arizona National Scenic Trail into 2 big hefty days of riding. Speaking of the AZT\, please consider donating to the AZT Association! \nBeginning in 2025\, though\, this event will be a point-2-point\, 2 day stage event just like the Coconino 250. This means there will be a coordinated campsite at the end of day 1\, roughly mile 64. Of course anyone is welcome to do the full 100-mile event on the Arizona Trail without the camping if they so choose. \nOrganizers will flip the direction every year\, with a 2025 group depart from Tiger Mine\, and finish at Pickepost trailhead in Superior. \nSee website for detailed information. \nRegister\nThis ride is limited to 74 riders. Please let us know if you will be unable to join for any reason so your name may be removed from the RSVP list. 🙂 gila100bikepack at gmail.com

SUMMARY:Bikepack the Suwannee River Trail with Karlos Bernart (SingleTrack Samurai) in Florida
DESCRIPTION:Embark on an exhilarating off-road bicycle tour along the scenic Suwannee River\, immersing yourself in the untamed beauty of nature. \nClick here to join the Group tour. \nThe route utilizes freshly scouted terrain combined with parts of the Florida Divide to complete the loop. This immersive 3-day 2-night journey grants you glimpses into the natural areas and communities that thrive along the Suwannee River. You don’t have to worry about sleeping outside on this 190+ mile journey as we will be staying both nights at Camp Suwannee which offers options for riders to sleep inside one of two bunkhouses. Since the group will stay at the same camp both nights\, riders can ride on Day 2 with just the supplies needed to complete the day ride. Riders will not have to break down their camps on Saturday morning and can leave their tents until they return to sleep in the evening. \nThis year there will be two options for the route. One with as much Singletrack as possible and one utilizing as many dirt roads as possible. Riders can pick and choose and mix and match. Day 2 will also have a shorter option for riders who would enjoy doing three shorter days versus a long 80-mile day in the middle. \nWhether you’re an experienced cyclist seeking a thrilling challenge or a nature enthusiast craving an escape into the wilderness\, this off-road bicycle tour along the Suwannee River promises an unforgettable adventure. Discover the wonders of this majestic river and its surrounding landscapes as you pedal through a tapestry of natural beauty\, creating memories that will linger long after the journey concludes. \nOne month before the ride starts we will send out the trail information\, itinerary\, and schedule. Once that information is shared no refunds will be available. \nHope you join! \nAbout Karlos\, the SingleTrack Samurai: SingleTrack Samurai encourages folks to chase adventure\, test their boundaries and take a moment to follow the routes I have created and organized throughout the years.

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Pine Grove Loop Overnight with Kurstin Gerard Graham in Nevada
DESCRIPTION:Lets do this! A Winter Solstice Bikepacking overnight in the Pine Grove Hills! The route is a 35 mile loop up to the ghost mining town of Pine Grove. Pine Grove is extremely well preserved and tucked into a dense forest of pinyon pine. The plan is to camp near Pine Grove proper\, 16 miles in\, 2500′ of climbing. The group should have time to explore the site and even beyond. On day 2 the group will return via Garden Canyon\, a new route for the organizer but has been on his list for years! Day 2 numbers are 19 miles\, 2500′ of climbing\, with a net descent. After the trip Kurstin hopes everyone can join in for a post-ride meal at Rosie’s Place in Wellington. The route is rugged jeep trails\, so Kustin recommends mountain bike sized tires. Gravel bikes will be underbiking at times. Plan on colder temperatures\, it tends to be a cold micro-climate.  \nThe start of the route is off NV 338 and Rissue Rd. about 97 miles south of Reno. \nAbout Kurstin Gerard Graham: Author of Bikepacking Northern Nevada and host of regular bikepacking trips in Nevada.
