Bikepacking is a growing sport, but surprisingly few people know how to get started. In today's video I'm going to walk you through my thought process of selecting a route. My friends and I have time off work and we're excited to have another adventure. Here's my thought process and the resources I use to choose a route. Want to support Hardtail Party?
