James and Isabelle Hayden of L’esperit del Bikepacking are the organizers behind the new El Piri bikepacking event, which debuted last year. They are also the folks behind the Startline Bursary, a fund designed to help enable access to bikepacking events for more people from underrepresented backgrounds.
