We’re rolling into another Weekend Snapshot with three more photos from backyard rides and campouts from our global community of bikepackers. In today’s installment, we catch up with a trio of folks who got out for some time riding sleepy dirt roads in California, Poland, and Puerto Rico.

Pleasanton Ridge, California
By Logan Chadde (@loganchadde)
There’s something magical about exploring a little bit further from home without using a car. This time, to go beyond my normal overnighter destinations, I hopped on a BART train from San Francisco to the East Bay. Then I rode this idyllic ridgeline to a regional park’s backcountry sites, where I met some friends who backpacked in (multimodality for the win!). It felt a world away from home, but I was back in the city the next afternoon—and the bikepacking glow lasted a full week.
Zielona Gora, Poland
By Wojtek Waloch (@coffeeteatrip)
Recently, I’ve only been out for quick reconnaissance forays, searching for good roads and places to sleep. This time, we didn’t have much luck. Something that we planned for a five-hour adventure with a break for warm cocoa from a thermos took us around eight hours. Sandy and rough tracks prevented us from rolling at any speed. Fortunately, the sun finally came out after a few weeks of hiding. All in all, it was a good adventure.
Aibonito, Puerto Rico

As you can see in the photo, the weather is nearly perfect all year round here in Puerto Rico. Aibonito is located in the south central part of the island. With a clear sky, you can see parts of the south coast and the ocean. My bike is built around a 2001 Dean Scout frame that I bought new here in San Juan.
