From Beth Puliti, your Guide to Mountain Biking
I'm planning a few winter "bikepacking" trips this year. This type of off-road bike touring combines mountain biking with backpacking for the ultimate travel adventure.

Bikepacking 101
Truly an exhilarating way to travel, bikepacking typically entails at least one overnight stay, and up to as many as possible. Some things to consider are what type of bike you should ride, what items to bring, how you will transport your gear and what route you'll take.

Discuss: Bikepacking Bags & Gear
Hey fellow bikepackers - what carrying system do you prefer (frame bags/trailer/panniers) and what necessary gear do you take with you?

Why Do You Mountain Bike Race?
The driving force behind racing mountain bikes is different for everyone. Maybe you're motivated by the prizes, inspired by the rush of excitement or provoked by the thrill of standing on the podium. Share why you love to race!
