Bikepacking Across Brazil

We will gather at Skipolini's at 5:30pm for snacks and/or meals
and at ~6:15 will see a presentation by Kirstin Graham about his cycling trip across Brazil.

My Big Brazil Trip was a 1000 mile trip from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia, Brazil between March 11 and 29, 2026. I will share the highlights of surprises, people, places, villages, food and lodging, and weather. I will give an overview of Brazil, other places to tour, other ways to tour, and talk about returning to Brasilia 40 years later.
I will have my bike packed as I toured with it as a prop.
