Women's Bikepacking Overnighter - September 6-8, 2024

What: This event is for women-identifying folks and meant to be a chill gathering where we ride bikes with camping gear strapped to them while adventuring through the beautiful north woods on gravel and paved roads. This ride is designed to be bikepacking beginner friendly as well as financially attainable. By that we mean free :)

*** REGISTER HERE! ***

When: Saturday, September 7th to Sunday, September 8th. On Saturday we will rollout from the shop at 11:30am. Return ETA for Sunday is noonish

Friday, September 6th we will be having a pre-ride open house at Spokengear for folks who want to bring their bike and gear and get some ideas for how to pack it up. We will have some snacks and hang out from 4-7:30pm! If you’re not about waiting until the last minute, stop by the shop anytime before the trip and be sure to utilize your local bike shops too!


Where: Begin and end at Spokengear (1130 11th St Two Harbors MN)

Camping spot is the group site at Indian Lake Campground (Hwy 44 Brimson MN)


Level of expectations: Are you okay at camping but great at bikes? Or okay at bikes but great at camping? Do you think you can ride 23 miles in a day (bet you can), then this is for you. We ask, however, that you do have a functioning bike. If inevitable adventure maintenance presents itself we will rejoice at the learning opportunity! On the other hand please do your best to make sure your bike is in working condition before the trip. 

Note that this event is free to attend but that you must be able to sustain yourself for about 24 hours. This includes food, shelter, a sleep system, and gear management on your part. We will have a van to aid in transporting gear that does not fit on bikes but the goal of this event is to be as self supported as possible.

*After signing up you will receive an email with more details.
