Announcing The Bikepacking Journal 09

We’re wrapping up another inspiring issue of The Bikepacking Journal, which we’ll be printing and shipping to our Bikepacking Collective members around the globe later this fall. If you haven’t signed up to support us yet, there’s still time! Join before 11:59 p.m. EDT next Monday, October 17th, and you’ll be all set to receive the upcoming Journal—and all future issues—delivered to your mailbox, anywhere in the world.

In our ninth issue’s 160 colorful pages, we join a new bunch of photographers, writers, and illustrators as they snake their way down the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, retrace a historical 1800s journey around the world, rally across Europe on the Transcontinental Race, pedal and push their way along backcountry tracks in Alaska and California, seek out fresh headspace in South Africa, and so much more.

Free Poster with Every Copy!

As a thank you to our members for their support, we commissioned one of our favorite artists to create a unique illustrated fold-out poster that we’ll be including with each copy of The Bikepacking Journal 09. We’ll share a full reveal later this week, and we think folks are going to love it. Stay tuned!

Otso Fenrir Stainless Giveaway

In case you missed the announcement, we’re also thrilled to share that in addition to more than a dozen other prize drawings in this round of Collective Rewards, we’ll be giving away a complete Otso Fenrir Stainless to one randomly selected Bikepacking Collective member. That’s a $4,120 value for our winner, who can fully customize their build from the ground up. Find details here.
