Ryan Correy – Bikepack Canada founder, Canada Bikepack Summit creator, and adventure cyclist extraordinaire – was keen to get a younger generation involved in bikepacking, his beloved sport. For Ryan, it was not only an enjoyable pastime, but also an important one. Away from everyday demands and creature comforts, Ryan saw bikepacking as a meaningful way to challenge oneself while connecting with nature, nurturing self-sufficiency and outdoor skills, finding meaning and motivation beyond prizes and finish lines, and bringing together amazing people.

In this spirit, we are excited to share this unique scholarship for one entry to the Canada Bikepack Summit and one entry to the US Bikepacking Summit, both taking place on September 14th-16th, in Canmore, Alberta, and Gunnison, CO, respectively. This opportunity has been generously funded by Lindsay and Neil Beltchenko, founders of the US Bikepacking Summit.
