Anyone have any great pictures from bikepacking to share?

I know its nothing special but the August* one from the Singletrack Mag calendar just puts a smile on my face.


*Alpkit ad / cabin with bikes outside.

Not actually a good picture but one that reminds me of a great trip ... and hopefully a lesson to everyone not to give a camera to a monkey!

Will there be a 2014 best photo thread?

I still like this one I took on the 2012 WRT, typical type 2 fun.

I also took this one a couple of days later when we were having some type 1 fun.

Hope to join you a lot this year Steve..

Great pics in that set SteveM. Hoping for a good summer in the UK this year, they're a reminder of how good it can be. I can 'just-about' ride to the Peak District from here so there's 1 bivi road-trip planned )

you'll be doing well to make a S24O from your place to the peaks

S36-48O, it's the new thing.. )

if an when you want it'd be good to meet at the top of that particular hill ;-)

Will do Steve, would be good. And I don't know the area as well as I'd like to.

Some great pics. Thanks guys and please keep them coming.

Short ride up into Glen Eanaich on the Pugs. Very windy once I got out of the tree line! Snow lost completely gone now at the bottom.
Rain and wind make for a terrible combination when you are shooting into the wind.....spent most of my time trying to keep the front element free of raindrops.
Not always successfully as you can see.

@ Nick

Did you post a wheelie pic on STW recently?

Is it a Rockhopper?
