We are stoked to be hosting our 4th bikepacking adventure.  Even more excited that we have plotted out a route that allows us to start and end right at The Garage in River Falls, WI.  This is a self-supported group ride, this means you MUST carry all that you need for tools, supplies, food and hydration on your bike.  There are no aid stations.  We will stop at about halfway mark each day to re-fuel and chill a bit and will try to make sure there is a store where you can purchase goods if necessary.  

You have the option to stay in a hotel room or to tent.  If tenting we will be wild tenting as a group and you must have all your our equipment and carry your own equipment. Food is not included except breakfast if you are staying in the hotel.

We will be cycling in 2 different groups. One group will be the casual/smell the roses often group.  This group will start out earlier than the other group.  The second group will be a smell the roses less often group.  Our goal is to have the two groups meet up at the halfway stop and again at days end for a group dinner and evening of storytelling.

The Garage Crew does have some extra equipment which we are willing to loan out if you are not sure you want to invest.  We also sell tons of options for bags set ups for your bike.  Speaking of bikes...any type of bike will do for the ride, road, gravel, mountain, ebike.  We will be on mainly paved country roads but there will be some gravel and a few miles of a scenic packed dirt trail.  It is suggested you have tires 35mm or wider on your bike.

We REQUIRE you to come into the bike shop and show us your bike and bag set up prior to our departure date.

Please reach out with questions.  We love to help and encourage all skill levels to give it a go.  You should be able to ride about 50 miles per day with your supplies on your bike.  Some fitness is necessary.
