Serbia

Weekend Snapshot

By Roman Matrasovich

A scene from a ride in Serbia. Unpaved roads, gravel, rapeseed fields, windmills, and a bit of sand.

South Tyrol, Italy

Weekend Snapshot

By Josef Prawica

My girlfriend and I Made a short three-day trip to South Tyrol. As you can imagine, there was a lot of climbing. But the view was worth every pedal stroke. We went from our hotel to a mountain hut to get some food and a hot beverage. Sadly, it was closed.

Virginia

Weekend Snapshot

By Seth Heijermans

Recently, my brother and I, along with two other friends and their sons (seven boys between the ages of 7 and 13), went on our first bikepacking trip. We ventured down through Back Bay Wildlife Refuge and into False Cape State Park for an overnighter (a variation of the False Cape Border Dash in the Overnighters section of the site), enjoying laughs, playtime at the beach, and some interestingly chosen bikepacking meals. I’m already looking forward to the next trip!
