Ep. 805: Near Death on the Pacific Crest Trail - Alan Carpenter

Let's talk bikepacking! Spring is nearly upon us and it's time to think about those long days in the saddle pedaling down some singletrack with everything you need strapped onto your trusty steed along with you. Luke Garten joins us on today's show to fill us in on the Tour Aotearoa bikepacking ride. Luke just got back from this 1800 mile ride in New Zealand and inspires the rest of us to get out and have some fun!  www.touraotearoa.nz www.facebook.com/groups/touraotearoa   Have you joined us on Patreon yet?
