No. 01 — The list

Email is required. A photo and a story are extra.

Email Who are you? A sentence or two about you as a rider. Helps us know who is on the list. Photo (optional) Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, or any https link.

Before you send the photo

This photo is women only — no men in the frame. You’re okay with us using it on the Women’s Bikepacking site, newsletter, and social. You still own the photo.

Your name First name is fine. How far into bikepacking are you? First 10 miles, first 100 miles, first overnight, bigger tours, or dreaming it up. Tell us the adventure Where, when, what held up, and what you would tell a friend.
