SUMMARY:Huracan Bikepacking Challenge with Karlos Bernart (SingleTrack Samurai) in Florida
DESCRIPTION:The Huracan Bikepacking Challenge is the ULTIMATE OFF-ROAD ENDURANCE EXPERIENCE in the state of Florida. The Original route features over 100 miles of singletrack\, many remote miles of double-track forest roads and abandoned paths\, and a few miles of pavement here and there. During the route\, riders cross numerous forests\, The Cross Florida Greenway\, two mountain bike parks\, and miles of some of Florida’s longest and hardest climbs. That’s right; we said long and hard. \nRiders are on a self-contained and self-supported expedition on this magnificent mostly off-road route. \nThere are 3 route options available. \nOriginal HuRaCaN Route\,370 miles of the most challenging Florida terrain. Expect everything you have ever heard about the Huracan from all your friends\, with a few more surprises thrown in. This is the route everyone talks about. \nThe HuRaCaN Lite is a 330-mile route with almost no singletrack or river crossings. It will combine Dirt roads\, A-Roads\, B-Roads\, Bikepath\, and major roads. This is essentially a Skinnier tire friendlier version of the route. The minimum recommended tire width is 45MM. \nThe HuRaCaN 400\, is the hardest and most challenging conceptualization of the route that has ever been put together. This route premiered in 2024 it is also known as the What The F*** Route. \nWhat you are purchasing is the information to ride the route. This information is licensed per individual and cannot be transferred to another rider or refunded. Participating in self-supported off-road the grand depart is a benefit provided as a courtesy by the adventure coordinator and all folks who purchase the route information will get an invite. \nThis event is bounded by the rules of self-supported off-road endurance events with a few exceptions\, details will be provided closer to the grand depart. \nOnce you join the event\, riders can expect to start seeing the preliminary information delivered to their inbox on or before August 1st\, 2024. Information will be shared via an RWGPS event link for the route and Google Drive folder access for the guide and other important documents. Final route versions and amendments will be finalized by January 1st\, 2025\, this year the grand depart riders will go CLOCKWISE. \nI hope this year\, you give the route a try\, \nIf you have any questions\, email: Karlos@singletracksamurai.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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:Planning Your Next Bikepacking Adventure with Jen Adams and Eric Betteridge in Quebec
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=”60656″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nEvery ride begins with research! In this presentation\, Jen and Eric\, the route developers of the Log Driver’s Waltz\, will use real examples from their planning and research as they prepare for bikepacking adventures. With a focus on the Log Driver’s Waltz Grand Depart & Spring Rallies and the Saint Lawrence Bikepacking Triple Crown\, they will cover a variety of topics such as: \n\nlocating resupply points\, accommodation and camping options\, water sources\, and other services\,\n​integrating distance\, elevation gain\, and surfaces to create a plan that fits the route\, the rider’s goals and experience\,\ndialing in your bike set-up: tires\, gearing\, etc\nConsiderations for sleep systems\,  nutrition\, and hydration\n\nNew and experienced riders alike are welcome to bring questions and contribute to the conversation as we further our learning together. \nIn 2024 Jen Adams and Eric Betteridge set the goal of completing the 2600 km St. Lawrence Bikepacking Triple Crown in one season. With three unique routes\, the pre-ride planning was a challenge in itself. Interspersed with anecdotes and photos from a summer of riding\, they will share what they learned about themselves\, their gear\, and their planning as they set about to complete the routes during the hottest summer on record.\n​They are route developers of the Log Driver’s Waltz and a dozen other bikepacking routes in the Ottawa and Gatineau Valleys. Riding as a pair\, in 2020  they completed the 4300 km Tour Divide route 3in 3.25 days. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Advanced 2 Nighter – Black Canyon Trail with Campfire Cycling in Arizona
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=”57596″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]***If you would like to join this ride but it is cost or transportation is prohibitive or you cannot afford all the gear\, please reach out to the folks at Campfire Cycling and let them know. \nAre You Ready for the Adventure?\n*Some details are tentative* \nThe folks at Campfire Cycling are really excited for a new route and to get the “Spring” bikepacking season rolling. The group will be heading up toward Phoenix to ride Devin Balet’s Black Canyon Trail. It’s 76 miles and 4\,858′ feet of climbing (and descending) into pure joy. This will hopefully be one of our mellower advanced trips (lord knows I need it at this point). This is a one-way trip with some shuttling so even though the group will be doing shorter days on either end\, there will be some travel time. \nThe plan is to work out some neat carpooling to minimize impact as well as make shuttling a little easier. The group will meet at the bottom of the trailhead. On the first day\, the route will add a little upper lollipop and descend into the trail and camp a little before Bumblebee Ranch. On the 2nd day\, the group will stop for some resupply\, Ice Cream\, root beer floats\, pie\, and some dreaming in the grass in Rock Springs. Then will camp near the Agua Fria River. On the last day\, the group will cruise on out and finish the trip like champs. The maps will be slowly updated with camping spots and maybe some add-on miles and will be done before the ride. \nHere’s what you can anticipate by reading about the route\, as well as reading recent comments: Black Canyon Trail on Bikepacking.com. \nThis ride will be on the chiller side for an advanced trip but will have some challenges with rough terrain and sandy sections. The organizers recommend a hardtail mountain bike with big tires or a full suspension. A great trip for someone looking to step up to an advanced bikepacking trip with some potential bail-out spots near the highway. \nRide pace is ride at your own comfortable pace. This is not a race. Organizers generally ride at a party pace with many meetups and stops so everyone can re-group and enjoy the scenery. Campfire Cycling will always have a mechanic at the back of the ride so no one is “stuck” alone at the back or in case a mechanical issue comes up. \nAnticipate temperatures to range from: 30 degrees (or slightly below) at night to low 70’s during the day. \nOrganizers will be contacting everyone who signs up for the ride to make sure they are prepared for the challenge. Please sign up if you plan on joining us. \nNonPremium RideWithGPS users can get access to premium features for this route and other Campfire Cycling routes. \n\nGo to CampfireCycling’s Ride with GPS page.\nClick Join Now.\nIf not already signed in\, sign in to your Ride with GPS Account.\nOR Setup a Free Basic Ride with GPS Account.\nYou will now be able to access this route and our Route Library.\n\n***Organizers strongly recommend all participants who do not have offline access to the route on their phone or other navigation device\, set-up a free RideWithGPS account and use the above process to access the route and download it to their phone. \nProtect the land/area that we recreate on. The ride wwill be on the traditional lands stewarded by the Hohokam\, Yavapai Apache\, and Akimel O’odham peoples.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
