Does your tarp fall over at the slightest hint of a breeze? Do you wonder how other people manage to ride loaded bikes that don’t look like every bag attached is about to explode? Have you ever wondered what it’s like to sleep in a hammock? Would you like to spend a night out with some like minded souls, have a craic and maybe pick a few bikepacking related tips up?

If you’ve answered yes to any of the above, then you might want to come along to the Bear Bones Summer Camp on the weekend of July 20th/21st. It’s an informal weekend where hopefully people can share their experience and pass on / receive tips and advice on all things bikepacky. Full details aren’t finalised just yet but I can say that it’ll be held in sunniest mid Wales, will involve a ride/night out, is completely free and is open to everyone no matter how experienced/inexperienced they may be. For anyone who likes the thought of bikepacking but hasn’t yet dipped a toe and caught the bug, there’ll be a (limited) amount of kit available for you to borrow … so don’t let ‘not having the gear’ put you off coming.

More details as soon as they’re sorted out.

    Pretty much got most of the gear from touring, so I'll watch out for updates.

  2. You'll be very welcome (your good lady too if she likes). There'll be updates here and over on the fotum.

I’ve mapped out numerous routes across the largely green and pleasant land and have gained […]

Inclusive – at what cost?

Last week, someone told me that, in certain circles Bear Bones is viewed as being ‘less than inclusive’. Had they said ‘full of weirdos’ or ‘a bit odd’, then I’d have readily agreed but lacking inclusiveness? No. Have these people not seen how the forum welcomes everyone with open arms or how for the last […]
