I’m interested in this event. Need direction in choosing bags and equipment.
Hi Mark, there are a numberof ways you can go for hauling gear on your bike. When you have a free moment, stop down with your bike, we’ll take a look at what will be the best fit for you and your bike.

This sounds pretty cool, but I don’t have a tent. Anyone have room in their tent for me?.
Hi Gregg, we’re full as of now in our tents that I know of. We’ll be planning more of these in the future, keep checking back on the website or down at the shop for more details!
I have a pop up camper . Maybe another weekend I can have my wife tow it and bring my food and gear and I will bike. :)
Gregg, I’ve got an extra 3 lb tent that you can use, 3″x 12″ rolled and stuffed. You’ll have to transport it.
I’m going to drive down from Appleton. Is there a good place to leave my van near your shop while we’re touring? Much obliged.
Yes, you can leave it in our parking lot over night. No problem!
Darn. I’m out of town. Sounds very fun.
Maybe there will more such events in the future? Gives a rider time to smell the 🌹. Have fun!
Yes, we are planning on doing 2-3 Bike Packing trips per year going forward. Check back soon for our next planned trip!
