[Enduro] Bikepacking Gear List
Prepped and ready for the unremitting ascents and knuckle-bleaching descents that make up an epic trail network in the western North Carolina Appalachians…
Later this afternoon I’ll be disappearing into the dark rhododendron tunnels of western North Carolina. Over the course of a planned five day bikepacking trip, we plan to cover some of the most revered and brutal singletrack that the NC Appalachians have to offer. Aside from my camera gear, this somewhat ultralight pack list was assembled while keeping in mind the style of riding that would await… long, quad-wrenching ups and steep, technical downs. That’s the nature of Pisgah. Our journey will begin by following a chunk of the legendary Pisgah Enduro route… hence the odd title of the post. From there we will pick our way though Asheville and then delve into the unforgiving Pisgah Ranger District.
