Minnesota

Weekend Snapshot

By Izaak Eichinger (@bike_with_ike)

I took a long weekend trip on the Straddle and Paddle route, soaking in all the wonder of the world along the way. Mist and rain inevitably broke into glorious, soul-warming sunshine, and the beauty around me only grew with every passing pedal stroke.

Vosges Mountains, France

Weekend Snapshot

By Philipp Eisnecker

Trying to find the route during a weekend bikepacking trip in the Vosges Mountains of France. At this time of year, you can find wild blueberries everywhere on those ridges. The picture was taken just behind the Col de Petit Ballon, where the Tour the France will ride its last stage next weekend.

Saturna Island, British Columbia

Weekend Snapshot

By Trey Schiefelbein

I just finished graduate school and am trying to fit as many bike trips in as I can between job interviews. Saturna Island has always been on my list of places to go, but ferry schedules, campground reservations, and forest fires always got in the way. This time, everything finally lined up… except for the weather!
