San Juans Islands, Washington

My favorite weekend getaway is to load up my bike and hop on the ferry. There’s nothing better than island hopping on your bike while finding cozy forest sleep spots, swimming holes, and the best berry bushes.

Thanks to Marco Florian’s expertise about trails in the Alps, we went for a 100-kilometre loop with 2,000 metres of climbing in the French Alps near Briançon. The route mixed a bit of tarmac to reach the classic Galibier pass, lots of gravel both uphill and downhill, and about an hour of hike-a-bike to reach the pass linking Val Clarée to Valloire. Being up in the mountains is always enjoyable, no need to rush.

British Columbia, Canada

Weekend Snapshot

There’s nothing better than connecting with the bikepacking community and our guest contributors. Last week was a double-header. I had the opportunity to get out on a long ride with Ty Domin and Chelsea Rieger, who are in the process of relocating to Canada. The next day, my friend and OG bikepacker Vik came over from Vancouver Island for an all-terrain singlespeed ramble. Showing off the local trails and sneaky connecting paths is such a privilege, and sharing them with such good company is as good as gets.
