Bikepacking events and other races

Bikepacking

Bikepacking is my favourite discipline of cycling. It's brutally difficult to compete at a high level due to the amount of time needed to spend in the saddle and lack of sleep. Finishing in a good time is more about maximising moving time and minimising stopping time than anything else. Gear selection involves selecting as little kit as possible while still being safe, so sleeping kit differs massively depending on the weather forecast. An incredible adventure is possible in just a few days, which is great if time is limited. Here are some of the routes and events I've taken part in.
