Bikepacking is one of those things I had always been curious about, but had no idea how to make it happen. I don't have that many friends that ride bikes, and getting into the scene can be a little daunting. This bikepacking trip provided me with support, guidance, encouragement, new skills and knowledge about bikes, so many giggles, and a hell of a good time. It was the perfect distance; it was far and pushed me to my limits, but it also was something I knew I was capable of. Having that kind of support from other women in the outdoor industry just makes my heart shine. We need more of that. Thank you Shifting Gears, Kona and Pack NW for the trip of a lifetime!
Grace, 2019 Bikepacking Participant
