BikePacking

Last September three buddies and I rode 330 miles across Washington State via the John Wayne Pioneer Trail (JWPT); this one trip really lit a fire in my mind regarding the fine art of bikepacking.  Getting off the urban streets opens up an entirely new world of cycling, forget the stress of holding onto a paceline or avoiding that sixteen year old kid in his GTI, embrace 10 mph, ride side-by-side, talk to your compadres.

I found a couple of online journals that celebrate and shine a little light on the clandestine activity known as bikepacking:
