Today is the final day to become a member of the Bikepacking Collective and have your membership start with the 11th issue of The Bikepacking Journal! We’re also giving away more than $12,000 in prizes, Iceland Divide Maps, and more. Find details and sign up to support us here…

Heads up! The cutoff to join the Bikepacking Collective and have your membership commence with The Bikepacking Journal 11 is today, October 17th, by 11:59 p.m. EDT. If you sign up after tonight’s deadline, you won’t receive an issue until the spring, and you’ll miss out on a chance to win the Revel Wayward Dream Build or one of around 20 prize packages in the current round of giveaways.

The Bikepacking Journal 11

We’re wrapping up another jam-packed issue of The Bikepacking Journal, which we’ll be printing and shipping to Bikepacking Collective members worldwide around the end of the year. Across the upcoming issue’s 160 colorful pages, we follow another immensely talented group of contributors as they pedal across Europe, huff and puff up the Himalayas, snake through South America, race across Kyrgyzstan, push and pull their rigs along rugged tracks in the Republic of Georgia, and so much more.

As always, we’ve carefully curated a mix of thought-provoking essays and immersive narratives. This is yet another issue you won’t want to miss. The full collection of stories is exclusively available in print, and once tomorrow’s deadline has passed, it won’t be possible to get a copy of our 11th issue, as we print just one copy for each member. We take great pride in doing so, and the Journal is produced at a world-class printer in Germany using top-notch papers and inks. It’s designed to be something you can proudly display on your coffee table or bookshelf for years to come.

This dream build is worth $7,500+, and we can’t wait to see where our winner takes it.

Hand-Drawn Iceland Divide Map

As an added bonus for Bikepacking Collective members, we commissioned one of our favorite artists, Alex Hotchin, to make a beautiful fold-out map of the Iceland Divide route that we’ll be including with all copies of The Bikepacking Journal 11. The image above is just a teaser of the work in progress, but once completed, her latest hand-illustrated creation will showcase Iceland’s dramatic topography, natural highlights, and some notable points of interest found along the stunning bikepacking route.
