Colorado

Weekend Snapshot

By Matt Mcloone

I had an itch for an adventure and decided to ride a portion of the Colorado Trail on my way to race SBT GRVL. Coming from Sea Level (Philly) and a few years out of touch with bikepacking, it proved to be an amazing and hard ride! Worth it for the views and memories. Can’t believe people race this trail!

Sweden

Weekend Snapshot

By Michael O’Dwyer

Scene from an amazing bikepacking weekend with 10 friends of the Haglöfs brand store in Stockholm, Sweden. Riding in the county of Sörmland, this 125-kilometre route is a modern classic and a must do for any local rider. Gravel, singletrack and a whole host of exciting places to explore with over 90% off-road tracks, this tour is one not to be missed.

Kosovo

Weekend Snapshot

By Ian Thayer

Testing out my newly built Stooge Dirt Tracker on an off road Balkans tour. I joined the High Scardus Trail to make my way into North Macedonia. The bike felt great! The quality of the trail after this section is not so great, though. Superb views though and cooler temps at 2,200 metres.
