Podcasts about bikepacking

Guests Luke Fowler and Sam Edder share what it's been like on their bikepacking adventure from Vietnam to Spain.  The two friends, better known as The Garbage Bag Boys  have certainly chosen to take on some of the most challenging routes. Their journey so far has taken them through the punchy Ha Giang Loop and almost broke them as they pushed headfirst into the punishing winds of the Gobi Desert. They've also taken on the Tian Shan Traverse and the Celestial Divide routes, as well as the Caucasas Crossing. I spoke to them while they were in Greece about to head into the final part of the journey.This trip has been full of adventures, from surviving a roof-ripping storm in a derelict shack to pushing their bikes through deep sand for hours on end, Luke and Sam share brutally honest stories of hardship, freedom, privilege, wild landscapes, and the lessons they're gathering along the way.Together we talk about:Hitchhiking across IndiaHow two student paramedics decided to ride across the worldThe storm that tore the roof off their shelterThe emotional weight of travel, privilege & storytellingThe Gobi Desert and why it's a place they never want to ride againWhat brings meaning to long-term human-powered travelHow their perspectives have shifted along the journeyWhy discomfort is equal parts addictive and transformativeFollow their adventures via their instagram - @GarbageBagsBoysCheck out the Cycplus tiny e-Pumps and use the code STR for a 5% discount Support the showBuy me a coffee!

In Folge 123 unseres Podcasts Zeltgespräche sprechen wir wie gewohnt über die Geschehnisse und Abenteuer der vergangenen Wochen. Freediving und Tierbeobachtungen in Thailand sowie eine Live-Show mit Christine Thürmer standen auf dem Programm. Bei den Outdoor-News berichten wir unter anderem von einem neuartigen Dachzelt.Im Hauptteil der Folge beschäftigen wir uns mit wunderbaren Trails aus aller Welt, für die man kein Sabbatical beantragen oder gar seinen Job kündigen muss. Wir haben uns also auf Trails fokussiert, die zwischen 50 und ca. 400 km lang sind,also Wege, die man entspannt über ein Wochenende bis hin zu einem zweiwöchigen Urlaub bewältigen kann. Hierbei reisen wir gedanklich durch die ganze Welt zu traumhaften Orten: Europa, Nordamerika, Asien, Neuseeland usw. Wir haben sehr darauf geachtet, dass auch ein paar echte Überraschungen dabei sind. Natürlich haben wir auch ein paar starke Vorschläge fürs Bikepacking.Wir hoffen, dass euch die Folge gefallen hat. Falls ihr noch Ideen zu weiteren Trails habt oder bereits einige der von uns vorgestellten Wege gelaufen seid, dann schreibt dies gern in die Kommentare. Wir freuen uns auf euch.

This week adventurer Kurt Werby gives us an update on what it's been like so far cycling on the Route of Caravans in Morocco. This is one of the first longer bikepacking adventures Kurt has taken on and it's been great to hear how expectations have met up with reality there on the route. We also hear what some of your favourite episodes have been as we celebrate 150 long form episodes of Seek Travel Ride, and lastly - hike a bike - do we love it or do we hate it?Check out Zorali for all your outdoor adventure needs!Support the showBuy me a coffee!

Jan brauchte eine Auszeit. Er wollte weit weg und einen klaren Kopf bekommen, aber ohne in ein Flugzeug steigen zu müssen. Die Wahl fiel auf die geheimnisvollen Färöer-Inseln. Doch was ihn erwartete, war weit entfernt von einem entspannten Urlaub: 42 Stunden Fährfahrt in einer Innenkabine – das war Jans Start in ein Abenteuer, das er nicht zu Ende gedacht hatte. Im stürmischen April empfing ihn die Inselwelt, 18 Felsen vulkanischen Ursprungs, mit einem Wind in nie erlebter Dimension. Für seine geplante Bikepacking-Tour von elf Tagen hatte Jan die Extreme unterschätzt. Er musste bereits nach kurzer Zeit feststellen: Die Inseln sind eine bergige Herausforderung, und der Wind ist so krass, dass man lieber schiebt als fährt – oder sogar den Berg hoch nicht treten muss, weil der Wind von hinten so stark ist. Obwohl Jan vom Meer kommt, war der Wind auf den Färöern ein „absoluter Standardwind“ in einer nie erlebten Dimension. Die krassen Wetterwechsel zwischen Regen und Sonnenschein innerhalb weniger Kurven machten das Vorhaben sogar lebensgefährlich. Vom Wal ausgespuckt: Wenn der Nordwind dich auf den Färöern absetzt Doch die Abkehr vom Plan – der Entschluss, sich einfach in den Süden treiben zu lassen – verwandelte die Reise in eine Perlenkette an Wundern. Wann hast du das letzte Mal die Tür zu einer fremden, offenen Wohnung betreten? Jan erlebte eine gigantische Gastfreundschaft. Er wurde in eine Familie aufgenommen, ging mit dem Vater der Pastorin Schafe hüten und durfte ein intimes Wissen über das Hirtenwesen sammeln. Er sah den „schönsten Flecken auf Erden“ – einen schwarzen Sandstrand, geschützt von steilen Bergen, der Ruhe ausstrahlt. Jan kehrte verändert von den Färöern zurück, mit dem tiefen Gefühl, dass die Welt und die Menschen grundsätzlich gut sind. Seine wichtigste Lektion: Sag Ja zum Unerwarteten! Hör rein und lass dich inspirieren, wie du auf deinen nächsten individuellen Abenteuern das Wunder finden kannst, wenn du dich einfach mal vom Wal ausspucken lässt.

Hablemos de Ultradistancia y hablemos de Bike Packing... o ¿no es lo mismo? Son conceptos parecidos, similares, que se complementan entre sí pero no son exactamente lo mismo.  Para ello contamos con Borja Gascón de Construyendo Ultraciclismo para hablar del tema y que nos desglose mejor qué aspectos caracterizan cada una de las disciplinas: material, set up de la bici, mindset del propio ciclista, días de ruta o cómo afrontar la misma. Seguimos añadiendo mini secciones en los episodios bisemanales para crear comunidad gravel. A veces habalmos de lo que se empieza a conocer como "el Fast Gravel" para esas carreras más cortas o competitivas o, por otro lado, como lo que algunos llaman la "Esencia del gravel" con ese concepto un poco más aventurero y explorador... ¿Al fin y al cabo, quiénes somos nosotros para catalogar cada cosa? ¡Nos vemos y/o nos escuchamos el martes que viene!

Bicycle touring numbers feel like they're down—fewer loaded panniers on the road, Adventure Cycling Association facing major financial headwinds, and a lot of long-time tourers quietly aging out. But is touring actually in decline, or is it just shifting into something that looks different—like bikepacking, gravel, and shorter, more flexible trips? In this episode I dig into Adventure Cycling's recent membership and financial update, talk through generational and economic trends, and explore whether we're seeing the end of an era… or just the end of one version of it. Is Bicycle Touring in Decline? What the ACA Letter Tells Us Recent email to ACA membership on a vote regarding selling their building in Missoula Membership down from almost 40,000 in 2023 to about 18,000 today. Donations down. Demand for guided tours has softened. Sales of maps/routes have dropped with free digital tools and GPS routes everywhere. Their diagnosis Members aging out of cycling. Some people don't feel enough value in a paid membership. Travel patterns are changing; inflation and costs are up; maybe fewer people committing to long guided tours. The building sale piece: ACA can sell their big, underutilized Missoula headquarters for ~$2.55M, then lease back just the space they need. The goal is to buy a "runway" of a few years to rebuild membership and modernize programs (digital experience, routes, tours, events). This is serious—membership halving in a couple of years is not a blip. But this is one institution. It's a single data point, not the whole story. Is ACA's Crisis Proof That Touring Is Dying? Possible "touring is in trouble" interpretation: If the biggest U.S. touring org is shrinking, maybe demand really is falling. Fewer people willing to pay for routes, maps, and guided tours could indicate less interest in traditional loaded touring. Alternative explanations: Value perception problem: If you can download GPX routes for free, people might not feel like they need a membership. Younger riders may not connect with a membership model or a print magazine in the same way. Business model problem vs. touring problem: Guided tours and paper maps are specific products. Those can decline even if DIY touring thrives. If a streaming-era kid doesn't buy DVDs, it doesn't mean movies are dead—just that the business model changed. Same question here: is ACA Blockbuster, or are movies in trouble? The Aging Out Effect The ACA explicitly mentions aging out of cycling. Talk through generational dynamics: A lot of classic touring energy came from the boomers and older Gen X. Long, multi-week tours require time, health, and often retirement or very flexible work. People aging out doesn't necessarily mean the activity is dying, but: If younger generations aren't replacing those numbers, you get a visible decline. Touring can look intimidating: expensive gear, big time commitments, safety fears. Possible barriers for younger riders: Student debt, unstable housing, fewer long chunks of vacation, higher baseline anxiety around traffic and climate disasters (heat, smoke, extreme weather). The Rise of Bikepacking and Off-Road Travel Ttouring may just be changing costume: More folks are drawn to bikepacking and gravel: lighter gear, off-road routes, "adventure" branding. Social media and brands push a certain aesthetic: frame bags, dirt roads, epic photography. Contrast vibes: Classic touring: fenders, racks, panniers, highways, small towns, campgrounds. Bikepacking: singletrack/doubletrack, BLM land, forest roads, more "expedition-y", often shorter but punchier trips. If someone is out for five days with bags on their bike, sleeping outside and moving every day… and we're calling that bikepacking instead of touring… did touring really decline, or did it just get relabeled? Is bikepacking now the umbrella term for bike adventuring? Is It Just a (pardon the pun) Cycle? Historical perspective: There was a big touring boom in the 1970s and again mini-waves around the early 2000s . We thought the 2020 COVID bike boom would impact things, but did it? Outdoor sports often rise and fall with the economy, culture, and media stories. Economic cycle: High inflation, higher travel costs, and general uncertainty can make long trips harder. At the same time, travel has become more fragmented: people take 3-day trips instead of 3-week odysseys. Cultural cycle: Right now, gravel and ultra-events (Unbound, etc.) get the headlines. Touring is slow and unsexy by comparison. Slow unsexy things tend to look "dead" for a while… until the next backlash against all the hype and burnout. We might be in the hangover phase after the COVID bike boom and a big cultural swing toward short, 'epic' experiences. Other Factors That Make Touring Feel Smaller Safety and traffic fears: distracted driving, speed, road rage, social media amplifying every horror story. Climate and weather extremes: heat domes, wildfire smoke, storms—touring has always danced with weather, but now the dice feel loaded. Information overload: paradoxically, infinite online info can make people freeze and not choose any tour. Shift to micro-touring: overnighters, weekend campouts, credit-card touring instead of epic cross-country runs. That looks less visible on the ACA radar but might be the real growth area. What ACA's Plan Signals About the Future Positive outlook: Selling an underused building to buy time to modernize could be a good sign. It's a choice to adapt instead of slowly bleed out. They're explicitly planning to invest in: More routes and route updates Digital and website improvements Stronger advocacy tools Expanded tours and member events The big question: Can an organization built around old touring models reinvent itself for a world of bikepacking, GPS, and dispersed, remote communities? Will they pivot toward being the hub for all forms of bike travel, not just pannier touring? Final Take: Is Touring Actually in Decline? Yes, in the classic sense. Fewer people paying for memberships, maps, and guided pannier tours. The touring demographic that built ACA is shrinking and aging. No, if you widen the definition. Bikepacking, mixed-surface, overnighters, and "ride-to-your-Airbnb" trips are essentially touring by another name. People are still traveling by bicycle; they're just doing it with different gear and routes. Mostly, it's in a messy transition. Legacy institutions and business models are under intense pressure. New formats (digital communities, route-sharing platforms, YouTube, social media) are where a lot of the energy lives now. The story isn't "touring is dying"—it's "touring is migrating." Go on any kind of bike trip—overnight, credit-card, dirt, paved, doesn't matter. Support whichever orgs, creators, or communities actually help them get out the door (ACA, local groups, creators, etc.). If you're an ACA member, vote on the building sale by November 24. Whatever side you land on it seems like this will likely define things for ACA for the next several years. •Bike touring has always been a niche. The question isn't whether the niche survives—it's what form it takes for the next generation. And we all get to shape that.

There's a certain kind of freedom that comes with slowing down: giving yourself time to stay, to notice, and to let a place leave its mark on you.Over the years, Weronika Szalas's mindset has shifted more and more toward slow travel — working in the winters and touring in the summers. This year, she spent nearly five months on the road with her partner, bikepacking through Central Asia.In this episode of Detours, Weronika all about her adventures on the road, from Google Translate disasters to long days on remote tracks, quiet dinners with strangers, and finally making it to Kyrgyzstan, a place she'd dreamed of for years.We get into:How slow travel changed the way she experiences new placesThe emptiness of the Mongolian steppe and navigating without a shared languageThe surreal reality of riding through Western China and dealing with constant surveillanceHighlights from bikepacking in Kyrgyzstan including Karakol, Peak Lenin, Juku Pass, and the Pamir Highway/Bartang ValleyHow her definition of freedom has evolved, and what it feels like to settle back into regular life after months outsideLISTENER SHOUTOUT: As a little bonus content this week we have a voice note from Kara Woolgar who finished the Arizona Trail 800 as her FIRST EVER bikepacking race!

Este verano he estado recorriendo durante un mes Kirguistán con la bicicleta. Rodamos por valles que parecían no acabarse nunca, dormimos en mitad de la nada y dejamos las bicis unos días para meternos en un trekking que nos regaló lagos a gran altura y paisajes que todavía estamos digiriendo.En este episodio os cuento lo maravilloso que fue este viaje pero también los imprevistos, lo duro... aunque te adelanto que repetiríamos sin dudarlo. Si te gustan los viajes lentos y esa sensación de estar muy, muy lejos de todo, aquí tienes un trozo de Kirguistán para escuchar.____________________________________Enlaces de interés:Instagram Víctor: @followthegravelInstagram Dos ruedas Dos pedales:  instagram.com/dosruedasdospedalesBlog: dosruedasdospedales.com

When you're chasing big goals, it's easy to get tunnel vision — to pour everything you have into one idea of what success should look like. What you should do next. How far you should go. The kind of person you should be.This year, artist and bikepack racer Quinda Verheul set out to take on the Triple Crown of bikepacking: the Tour Divide, Colorado Trail Race, and Arizona Trail Race. After the Tour Divide, her year took a turn in a direction she couldn't imagine. In this conversation, Quinda opens up about the pressure to keep proving yourself, the vulnerability of letting go, and the freedom that comes from redefining success on your own terms. We talk about the realities of professional ultra-cycling, the mental and financial load of chasing big races, and the courage it takes to change direction when your goals stop serving you.Follow Quinda on Instagram: @quindaverheul_ Follow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Detours on Instagram: @detourscyclingFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cyclingUse code DETOURS15 to get 15% off your next order from AlbionIf you love this show please consider pledging your support to sustain producing this show: https://buymeacoffee.com/detourspodcast

Pack die Wanderschuhe ein und mach dich bereit für eine inspirierende Reise: Jan Rumig hat Deutschland auf eine Weise durchquert hat, die nur wenige wagen. Jan, der seine Leidenschaft für das Weitwandern nach dem Te Araroa in Neuseeland entdeckte, wollte diesmal nicht weit fliegen, sondern die Vielfalt der eigenen Heimat erleben. Sein Ziel war der Nord-Süd-Trail, eine epische Strecke von 3.700 Kilometern, die von Sylt bis zum südlichsten Punkt Deutschlands, dem Haldenwanger Eck, führt. Nach 98 Tagen, darunter 96 Wandertage und nur zwei Pausentage, erreichte er das Ziel und absolvierte den Trail in Fastest Known Time (FKT). Doch wie schafft man es, sich über drei Monate hinweg täglich zu motivieren und 3.700 Kilometer mit einem Startgewicht von 18,6 Kilogramm Gepäck zu meistern? Jan verrät uns, dass auf solch einem langen Weg vor allem der Wille zählt. Von Siebenschläfern, Schweißtropfen und der überraschenden Herzlichkeit Deutschlands Jans Wanderung war eine Achterbahnfahrt der Erlebnisse und Emotionen. Er berichtet von den kulturellen und kulinarischen Unterschieden – wie aus "Moin" "Servus" und aus Mettbrötchen Kaiserschmarrn wird. Dabei erwarteten ihn nicht nur Herausforderungen wie tagelanger Regen im Schwarzwald, der ihn fast den Mut kostete, bis ihm ein intensiver Regenbogen über Friedrichshafen ein Lächeln ins Gesicht zauberte. Auch körperlich wurde er auf die Probe gestellt, als sein rechter Knöchel plötzlich sehr stark geschwollen war. Warum er trotzdem keinen Arzt aufsuchen wollte – und wie ihm dann ausgerechnet eine Bundeswehr-Ärztin als Trail Angel aus der Patsche half, erfahrt ihr in der Folge. Jan lernte auf diesem Weg, dass Abenteuer nicht nur in der Ferne warten, sondern direkt vor der eigenen Haustür erlebt werden können. Hör rein, lass dich inspirieren und starte dein eigenes Abenteuer – egal ob Thru-Hike oder nur die ersten 10 Kilometer! Hier erfährst du alles über das Wandern durch Deutschland auf dem Nord-Süd-Trail und außerdem: - welch unglaubliche Herzlichkeit Jan von 25 Trail Angels erfuhr! - wie sich Deutschland von Nord nach Süd kulturell und kulinarisch verändert! - was Jan auf den 3.700 Kilometern am Laufen hielt! - was ihn nach tagelangem Dauerregen im Schwarzwald beinahe aufgeben ließ!

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Kenneth Pararo, known on trail as Moron. This is a podcast we've been wanting to make happen for several years now, and let me tell you, it does not disappoint. Moron is a thru-hiker, long-distance cyclist, philosopher, hopeless romantic, futurist, and most importantly, just a real solid hang.  We learn about why he's all in on AI- as evidenced by him riding cross country rocking his Meta AI glasses, why he quit is corporate tech job to more permanently pursue adventure and experience, how he completed one AT thru-hike and quit another a couple hundred miles from the finish, turning it into an extended road walk to the Canadian border, only to turn around for some more road walking and eventually an extended bike ride, and how he plans his adventuring essentially one day at a time, letting fate largely guide his next move. We wrap the show with tips for safe and steamy tent sex, a contentious debate about using gas station bathrooms exclusively for a year for one million dollars, and the triple crown of people we just don't understand.

Swim death at Waco 70.3 and what can cause that. Examples of great guests on this show. Why Pro women's race in Kona this weekend is so important to watch.

Kai and I probably will race Marathon MTB and Gravel Races again this Fall/Winter/Spring Backyard Ultra? and run 100 miles in 24 hours? You race to get good, then "graduate" to a multisport lifestyle where you don't want to stop training to race. Women's racing has gotten crazy good. But hasn't it always been?

When Roz Osborne signed up for the Silk Road Mountain Race, her motivation was simple: to prove her son wrong.Living in Cornwall with her husband and 12-year-old son, Roz had spent years pouring her energy into family and work. But when she left her job and saw applications open for the race, something inside her clicked. She wanted to do something entirely for herself — not as a mum, or a wife, or an employee, but as Roz.In this episode of Detours, Roz shares her journey from that moment of saying yes out loud, to standing on the start line in Kyrgyzstan, to crossing the finish line two weeks later. She talks about the guilt and joy of chasing a goal that's purely your own, the challenge of preparing for an ultra as a parent, and the freedom that comes from carving out space for yourself.Before our conversation, you'll also hear the voice note Roz recorded before the race as part of our Women of SRMR Detours Episode — a message to her future self that still rings true today.Follow Roz on Instagram: @rozosborne Follow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Detours on Instagram: @detourscyclingFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cyclingUse code DETOURS15 to get 15% off your next order from AlbionIf you love this show please consider pledging your support to sustain producing this show: https://buymeacoffee.com/detourspodcast

Gravel bike? Adventure bike? Bikepacking rig? With a drop handlebar but wide tires, proper suspension on both ends, and geometry that makes sense for good times on dirt, the just-released Trek CheckOUT looks like it's ready for... well, just about anything, be it a quick singletrack rip or a race from Canada to the Mexican border. Will Tracy and Levy look into the CheckOUT's features, including its near-endless mounting points and the new, longer travel Rudy XL fork, and Levy shares his questionable opinion from a mountain biker's perspective.  Velo's managing editor, Will Tracy, is also grilled by Levy to find out how he became The Boss, his time working for Peloton magazine, the differences between print and online cycling media, and how watching a race as a young kid shaped the rest of his life.

From not knowing how to fix a puncture to leaving Ireland to cycle to Australia via  Iran, Afghanistan, China and beyond, Fergal Guihen shows how saying yes to fear can change everything.Listen if: You've ever thought, “I'd love to take off on an adventure… but I wouldn't even know where to start.”Key takeaways:Fear is the compass: When faced with two routes, Fergal picked the scarier one  and discovered for him this would lead to the richest experiences.Hospitality beats headlines: The countries that made him most nervous (Iran, Afghanistan, China) turned out to be the most generous.Commit out loud: Telling others he was going made backing out impossible. Accountability is the fuel for your adventure.Golden quote: “I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.”Links mentioned in this episode:Donate to Fergal's fundraiser for suicide prevention Mayo Roscommon Hospice & NorthWest Stop: Follow Fergal on InstagramPrevious Guests and episodes mentioned:David McCourt - Part 1 and Part 2Emily Hulbert Check out Ombraz Sunglasses - I'm a fan and I think you will be too!

// „Willst du als Hausarbeit fürs Abitur nicht eine Reportage schreiben?”, diese Frage von seinem Lehrer wusste Tobias Renggli erst gar nicht so recht einzuordnen, nahm sie dann aber dankend an und entwickelte eine verrückte Idee. Ein paar Monate später gab er 200 Seiten ab, auf denen er von seiner „Tour de Schwitz” berichtete – mit dem Rad war er in jeder Stadt der Schweiz gewesen und in jedem der 26 Kantone auf den höchsten Berg gestiegen. Dieses Projekt war der Beginn einer besonderen Abenteuer-Leidenschaft: Tobias ließ seine vielversprechende Karriere als Bergläufer sausen (immerhin als Schweizer Meister) und lebt die Bergliebe seitdem noch freier aus. Mit 18 Jahren besuchte er alle europäischen Hauptstädte mit dem Rad und stieg wieder auf alle höchsten Berge, mit 21 Jahren wiederholte er die Schweizer Gipfel-Tour für ein Filmprojekt und heute, mit 22, hat er schon die nächste Idee, obwohl er eigentlich doch studieren und an die beruflichen Perspektiven denken sollte. Warum er Abenteuer aber für viel wertvoller hält, das verrät Tobias in dieser, sehr inspirierenden Folge ... // Alle Werbepartner des FREI RAUS Podcast und aktuelle Rabatte für Hörer:innen findest du unter https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus-partner // Hier kannst du den wöchentlichen Newsletter zum Podcast abonnieren: https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus // Outro-Song: Dull Hues by Lull (audiio.com)
