So this Saturday i will be embarking on my first ever bikepacking trip. Its not a long trip and probably isn't that difficult for most people, but for me it's gonna be hard. The idea is to ride from my apartment in downtown and make my way up the transcanada trail on the way to Stead, than camp over night and race the next day before heading back home.
From my door to stead it should be aboot 96km to reach my destinastion in a direct route. Not necisarily a long ride however, but also probably the longest i have ever done and this time i will have to carry a tent, sleeping bag and all the other items i will need for two days on the bike.
This will be the first time using my new sleeping bag and tent (which i am quite excited aboot) as well as my frame bag. I've chosen to ride my Pugsley setup with 29er wheels rather than my flash. I think the larger wheels will be advantageous for the long open stretches of non-technical terrain, filled with sand and gravel.
More pictures and story to follow!
