What we’re about
Do you dream on two wheels? Read and scroll down for samples of past trips.
This group is primarily about bikepacking -- mountain bike camping. This is similar to backpacking, but with a bicycle. Some members are also interested in road bike touring (overnight or longer road trips), and trips are posted from time to time. An emphasis on "loaded" touring, meaning carrying your own gear. We do not do day rides. **the member questions to join are required; please give substantive answers.**
Up until the pandemic, we generally had at least one overnight trip per month, March through November. We are still getting back up to speed as of mid-2022.
We have three types of events:
-
Actual trips! Overnights or long weekends locally or regionally. While our lead organizer is "obsessed with bikepacking," we welcome both mountain bike (bikepacking) and road touring trips.
Social gatherings to share stories / maps / gear / route ideas for other locales, and/or to plan our trips and schedule.
-
Education & how-to. Want to get started? This might be the thing for you.

Strawberry Narrows, a must-ride singletrack trail along the reservoir, and lovely campsite by the lake. Loop completed on forest service roads and an unused ATV trail.
The wildflowers and trails along Skyline Drive near Fairview were spectacular! This 70-mile loop included a variety of terrain. We pedaled along the alpine ridgeline, swooped delightedly into Reeder Canyon, and ascended creekside through Joe's Valley. Two nights, great trip!
High Uintas bikepacking trip near Whitney Reservoir, a wonderful way to escape the heat. We camped overnight along a lovely lake. The alpine meadows are a world away from Salt Lake City; this trip may become an annual favorite.
Uintas Exploratory Bikepacking, a new adventure to start the group. This was our very first trip, and we had a great time!
