P.S. I don't recommend "attacking" the trail, or attacking anything in the outdoors for that matter (unless you're hunting for food, then you're pretty much attacking). I recommend going slow and taking lots of breaks. Personally, I prefer to appreciate, savor, and bask. There is a lot of cool stuff out there — if you're busy attacking you'll miss most of it.

Awesome story -- always stoked to see bikepacking stories in print!
ReplyDeleteI was certain by that first shot that your trip was in Montana (Italian Peaks area). Crazy how similar it is.
Thanks for the bp.net ref in the resources segment.
Cheers, Scott
Dang! And you also get paid to do this...
ReplyDeleteGreat blog....I really enjoyed the article....I live in Calgary and was wondering if you'd give me some idea of the route you guys rode for a 5 day mtn bike trip in k-country?
ReplyDeleteNowhere near as nice photography, but in the interests of sharing the stoke here is some pics from a CDN GDR trip my buddy and I rode last summer using the Flathead reroute.
