In this edition of Weekend Snapshot, we join a few folks from our global bikepacking community on their recent outings. From Mexico’s lush mountains to a frozen lake in Sweden, today’s scenes are a reminder to appreciate the beauty in all seasons. See them and share a photo from one of your rides here…

No matter the weather, people from across our worldwide community are reliably out pedaling trails during their time off, and last weekend was no exception. In today’s Weekend Snapshot, we catch up with a few of them, joining them on their rides in Sweden, New York, and Mexico. Peek at all three scenes below, followed by a handful of related posts from the archive and a form you can use to share a photo from a recent adventure.

Weekend fatbike trip to a remote cabin using the local snowmobile trails. The journey was as good as the time at the cabin!

Virginia and I spent the weekend high in Oaxaca’s Sierra Norte at the Centro Ecoturístico La Cumbre Ixtepeji, a lovely community-operated ecotourism camp. Not only is La Cumbre home to an excellent comedor serving the tastiest chocolate de agua Oaxaqueño I’ve had, but it’s also nestled at the base of the challenging enduro Parque Ecoturistico Ixtepeji, offering some of the best purpose-built senderos in Mexico. We spent Saturday riding several of our favorite trails in the park, then descended a new-to-us “long trail” called Donají back to the city on Sunday.

Sweden

Weekend Snapshot

By Michael O’Dwyer

Finally, the ice came. We had been waiting for it in Stockholm. Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean there needs to be snow. Instead, what we get is black ice. The ice is clear, but the black colour comes from the deep dark waters that lie beneath. With studded tyres, minus 10°C temps, and blue skies, we had no excuse but to ride the Marvikarna network of lakes in Sörmland. The ice was thick, the waterfalls were well frozen, and riding was about as good as it gets.
