Early spring camping in Alaska - Don’t be afraid, we will be going a bit later after the complete melt
Each workshop will feature a bike guide/mechanic and a guest speaker. The goal is to stress ourselves a bit, but not too much. We will eat delicious food, drink some good wine, and sip on some fine whiskey — All things you might not normally associate with these a bikepacking photography workshop. Events will also feature a guest speaker who’s stories will inspire all of us to do more.
Individuals should be prepared to ride 20-30 miles a day on a gravel or mountain bike and be capable of carrying their own gear. This will be an all inclusive event, but you will be required to carry a portion of the food and drink. We will distribute the load evenly amongst the group. Where possible we will travel to base camp and work from there. The scenario will be unique for each trip destination.
Cost for 3 nights/4 days is $800. Participants are responsible for travel to and from our starting point and must provide all of the required gear. We are able to help those new to bikepacking sort out and acquire the needed kit at a discounted price from retail.
