In the 4th episode of Unpacking Bikepacking I dive into the some of the common issues that gravel bike riders have while taking on various bikepacking adventures, and how to make that gravel bike into the perfect rig for bikepacking. Throughout the episode I look into various things, such as suspension, handlebars, fenders, tire setup, and more.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I'm sharing the conversation I had with Aaron Prasad a little while ago. Unfortunately, it took a bit of time to get it put out as things got crazy for a short while. Now that things are a bit more normal, I happy to release this conversation and share Aaron's journey as a plant-based athlete, lover of Colombia and all things bikepacking. What initially began as a small cycling adventure has grown into a desire to learn more about the country, continued exploration and the desire to challenge not only the mind, but also the body. In January of 2024, Aaron decided that he would embark on an adventure dubbed the 25x25 project. 2500km with 25,000m of elevation gain riding a huge loop through Colombia. As things got going it slowly morphed into what is now closer to 40x40. Tune in to hear Aaron's story.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I'm excited to share with you a different type of adventurer. Namely, because she is so young, yet has accomplished some pretty epic adventures. When I first reached out to Scarlet and her dad Flint, they were immediately interested in sharing their journey on the podcast. Between Flint's job as a travelling musician and getting out on bike tours, Scarlet has been travelling and sleeping rough since she was a little baby. After graduating from tow-behind bikes, Scarlett started putting more and more miles into each adventure, having ridden the C&O canal, done a multi-week tour in the UK, and culminated the epicness of her adventures by riding the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route at the age of 13, beginning in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and ending in New Mexico, USA. Since the early days of Scarlett's bike adventures, this passion for two wheels continues to grow. I hope you enjoy this conversation as I go back and forth between father and daughter to try and catch the essence of their journey.

I this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I super excited to have had the opportunity to sit down with Kurt Refsnider, a professional ultra-endurance/backcountry mountain bike legend, record holder, route developer, advocate, cycling coach, geologist and also the co-founder and route director of Bikepacking Roots. If it's something bike related, there is a good chance Kurt has done it or is planning to do it. Some of Kurt's many cycling career highlights include but are not limited to: Winning the ITI, 8 wins and/or records on the AZT 300, 2 wins/records on the AZT 750, winning the Colorado Trail Race, winning the Tour Divide and finishing it 3 times, setting the FKT on the Kokopelli Trail 2 times, and setting the yet to be beaten FKT on the Grand Loop. With countless other adventures and races to his name, Kurt also became the first person to complete the Continental Divide Trail south bound. Kurt has recently finished writing a guidebook with all the important information you might want to know if you decide to take on the daunting Iditarod Trail. In today's episode, Kurt and I take a deep dive into touring this legendary route, going beyond just the gear that might be important to have, but also the preparation, logistics and mindset that you might need to account for. I hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I record a second episode with Ty Domin as we take a deep dive into bag making. I'm not exactly sure if Ty likes making bags more or riding bikes, but he is pretty passionate about the 2 of them. When Covid locked down the state he was living in in Australia, he, on a whim decided to pull out an old sewing machine and upcycle some old outdoor gear and make himself a bag. As it just so happens, he did a pretty good job, and had a blast. Over the next several years, Ty got more and more into bag making, bought bigger and better machines, and started selling bags to support his addiction, uhhhh, I mean hobby. I'm very stoked to have had a chance to speak with Ty again to learn the ins and outs of bag making, and for putting me on the right track to try something new. I hope you enjoy the episode and if you decide to go out and make a bag after this, feel free to shoot me a picture or send a message. Cheers.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I catch up with David and Didi mid-tour, while they break for Christmas in Cusco, Peru. I first learned about them quite a while before their adventure started, when they were still in the preparation stages and wanted some advice. Two months ago, David and Didi landed in Colombia to begin what they have dubbed Project Aire Libre, which roughly translates as the Free Air Project. Over the past two months, they have made their way south through Colombia, Ecuador and are now in Peru. Amazingly, David and Didi haven't been following the traditional bicycle touring route through South America, but have been stitching together their route using a variety of roads and trails. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I have a chance to speak with Chris Lee-Francis. I first interviewed Chris nearly a year ago, but unfortunately, something went wrong with the audio and I was never able to release the episode. Fortunately, in the aftermath of the failed episode, Chris finished his travel memoir, Eastwards and Far and was gracious enough to send me a copy. Chris' story has a certain flow about it, one in which the experienced bike tourer easily relates to and the would be bike tourer can't help but be captivated by. I hope you enjoy this conversation about avoid sports, commuting to save money, and crossing the world's second largest country because they built a trail.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I dive into a new series that focusses on a specific country to share as many tips and tricks possible to make your adventure a success. In this first Bikepacking Beyond Borders episode, we take the listener to the Far East, into the land of the rising sun, Japan. Carl Presseault, my co-host for this episode has just recently come back from a one month trip cycling in various parts of Japan. Combined with my experience travelling throughout Japan over the past 11 years, I thought this would be the perfect country to start with. Hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I have a chance to speak with Ty Domin. Ty first got on my radar while on his friend Lewis' podcast a couple years back. Since then, I've followed his adventures and now that he's in Western Canada, it seemed like the perfect time to have him come on the show and share his story.
When it comes to biking, Ty has really run the gamut, racing everything from road to track to MTB and now Bikepacking. He's also an accomplished bike tourer, or as he would call it, overlander. In 2014, he embarked on a bike tour that lasted roughly 2 years, covering 30,000km and did it again this past year with his wife Chelsea, cycling from Scotland to Turkey and another 10,000km. We didn't dive too much into his bikepack racing and bag making brand Yah Naw Thread Works and will save that for another day. Hope you enjoy this great little convo with Ty.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I host my second Unpacking Bikepacking episode, where I dive into some of the gear I've been using. I talk about my time using Time pedals (no pun intended), the Baryak Expedition XL bars, and the Panorama Chic-Chocs carbon fatbike I've been using over the past year. Hope you enjoy.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I have a chance to speak with Claire Pomykala. When I first came across Claire's journey into bike touring, what really stood out for me is that it all happened so quickly. With her first tour quite literally straight out of college, to then embarking on a pretty epic journey across a big chunk of Europe, Claire has really dove headfirst into Bike Touring and its many facets.. After a stint of working the 9 to 5, Claire decided to drop it all and cycle across the USA and is now what she calls FUN-employed. Tune in to this episode to learn more about bike touring and Claire's upcoming adventures.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I record a Ridecast taking the listener through my Grand Depart FKT on the Canadian Shield 400 bikepacking route. This route takes the rider through the Outaouais and the Lower Laurentian Mountains in Western Quebec. With approximately 6300 metres of elevation gain, this route is about as hard as it gets in the region for a 400km route. Mix in roughly 120km of trails and you've got yourself a magical experience.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I have the chance to speak with Jonathan Roy about his 3 year adventure bike touring the world. Jonathan left his practice as a lawyer to follow a passion for bikes, which ultimately brought him home when COVID closed off the majority of the world and make it too difficult to keep going. This gave Jonathan an opportunity to write a book, sharing his adventures from the saddle.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I connect with Robert Biron, also known as, Salty Beard Bikepacking. Rob has been a lifeline cyclist, being involved in mountain biking in its infancy, racing, commuting, randonneuring and more recently, bikepacking. Over the past few years, Rob has started a YouTube page to share his bikepacking adventures, and has quickly grown a sizeable viewership, as a result of his personality and the authenticity in which his videos are made. More recently, Rob has curated a bikepacking route across, over and around northern Vancouver Island. Throughout this conversation, we touch on lots of different aspects of our lives and involvement in the bikepacking community. I hope you enjoy.

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I have the chance to catch up with Jim and Mary Boate. I first met Jim and Mary while out for a bike ride in the Gatineau Park in the fall of 2022. After a quick chat that lasted until the turn-off to Mackenzie King Estates, I was certain that I wanted to get them on the podcast at some point to share their journey.
Routes Discussed:
The Greenbelt Route
G2G Rail Trail (Guelph to Goderich)
The Waterfront Trail
