Kia Ora! 38 male from Wellington New Zealand looking for bikepacking mates for overnighters and other adventures. Also do a fair bit of mountain biking, tramping, climbing, and surfing. Flexible schedule at the moment. Have been bike packing a couple of times but no major tours. Longest was a couple of nights. Keen for shorter missions I.e. under a week. Chur!
Hi there,
I'm a 25m from the US - flying over to the UK around June 1st to solo bikepack from London to Marseille (and potentially beyond). The trip mostly follows the North Atlantic and West Atlantic veloroutes when I cross into France. I'm planning to pass through Brittany, Bordeaux, Provence, & plenty of places in-between.
I'm trying to keep most of my planning quite openended, but overall I'll mostly be camping, with a few hostel or hotel stays here and there when needed.
Please feel free to reach out, I would love to have some company for any stretch of the trip!
Hey, I’m 24 M in central Florida, I’m flexible, I would be down to plan some trips, mostly weekends. I have no issue traveling a few hours. I would like to do the Florida coast to coast some time this summer.
I ride a gravel bike, and prefer to avoid riding on roads if it’s at all possible (Florida drivers amiright)
49yo & looking to do my first REAL bikepacking trip, done a few solo ones under 100 miles, & for 2-3 days but ready to go further, wanting to do the Tahoe Twirl.
I'd be using a full suspension ebike, with a cargo trailer with suspension, & rear rack on my ebike, I'm also pretty well versed in bushcraft/survival, so won't be dead weight, plus I can be the "pack mule" in turn to learn from experienced bikepackers.
I ride over 5k miles a year on bikes/ebikes & camped my whole life, my hesitancy is I almost died from Covid 2 times in 2021,& have Long Covid, so not 100%, & sometimes I push, well not sometimes ALL THE TIME push myself too hard outta stubbornness, & have no problem to admit I need someone to tell me to TAKE IT EASY every now & again, because I still think I'm 25 mentally, but my body isn't in agreement with this.... 😆
22F and planning to cycle this summer (dates are still flexible but I think the end of July, beginning of august) from Milan to Amsterdam following the eurovelo leading in Brussels. This would be my first bikepacking, but super excited to try it out. I would love to have some company all the way, especially at the beginning as we have to cross the alps in the first days I plan to wildcamp, book some camping or hostel if needed and ask for hospitality maybe even using apps such as cs or warmshower Happy travels <3
26M in NE Colorado looking for bikepacking buds. I want to do the Red Feather Ramble sometime this summer, but am open to other routes/timeframes.
I'm wanting to do the Tahoe Twirl, but don't want to do a long solo like that without either someone as experienced as I am, or more, I just am new to combining bikes & camping, but VERY FAMILIAR with both
27M planning on the Baja Divide this December/January. Currently living in central California, could be an easy jumping off point. Holla at me.
Hmmm... I'm in Reno, I got to check out that ride, I'm getting ready now to do the Tahoe Twirl, & then riding from the Reno Arch to the Las Vegas Sign
30M planning to ride all or most of the Altravesur route in southern Spain (Andalusia). The full route is ~820 miles (1300km) starting in Cadiz and should take ~30 days with travel and rest days included. But I may trim it down to ~600 miles and start in Malaga in which case i'd plan for ~20 days.
I'm planning to leave somewhere between May 15 and May 25, but have not yet booked flights.
Bikepacking.com has a pretty detailed route (which I plan to follow) involving some wild camping, refugios (mountain huts), and hostel stays. See that report here: https://bikepacking.com/routes/altravesur-bikepacking-route/
Would love to have some company along the way!
29M Planning a trip from Istanbul (starting ~30th May) along black sea coast before turning inland to Cappadocia, then South to Lycian Way. I want to get the ferry to Rhodes at the end of June. I aim to then spend 2 weeks in Crete, then Athens, then ferry to Brindisi in Italy. I will be camping whenever possible and only cooking my own food when necessary. ~80km per day (up to 150 if needed). All these plans are very loose and I will catch busses if timings look tough. I have a few routes mapped which are preliminary - DM me and I will share if you want to come for part of the trip.
I am a 30M going to bike from Amsterdam to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan from February until July 2025. I have done a duo gravel trip doing 150+km per day over 2 weeks through Europe and a few smaller bikepacking trips. I have both a gravel bike and a travel bike, i haven't made a choice yet regarding which one to take. Would like to sleep in tents whenever possible, and I am an early riser, I like to be on my bike by 07:30.
It's nice if you're also from Amsterdam, but I could come pick you up pretty much anywhere in mainland Europe.
Feel free to DM!
I am 24M going on a bikepacking trip in Himalayas of India. Could do Ladakh region or Spiti Valley. I would do 60kms a day on average. Would do hotels when available cause its safe and cheap in India. Feel free to DM me.
Hi m26 from germany, have done a couple tours of bikepacking already (wild camping only). But open to camping sites. Located in wolfsburg, germany, niedersachsen.
Don't have specific dates yet, but definitely want to go to denmark or maybe Amsterdam next time.
19m doing sofia Bulgaria to Batumi Georgia this summer
I'll be pedaling across the Alps following mostly Via Claudia Augusta (Bolzano, Meran, Rachenpass, Imst, Munich) mid June. I've never done bikecamping before so I'm more likely to fold and stay at hostels, but open to camping/wildcamping. I don't want to exceed neither 100km or 1000m climb in a day and plan to finish the route in 4 days.
30M, Tuscany Italy, a lot of bikepacking experience. Wildcamping only, avoid as much as possible tarmac routes. Have an hardtail, bad shape at the moment. Open to small/medium trips anywhere around italy and closeby locations from now on to summer
I'm planning to do my first overnight trip from Bologna to Firenze, following the gravel version of the Via degli Dei (avoiding the technical parts because I don't have MTB). Happy to practice my broken Italian on the way.
21M Starting in Healdsburg CA, biking north along the highway 1 to the Oregon Coast then the Washington coast then a boat to Alaska. First bike packing trip.
How far are you from Reno & how long you planning it'll take?
I'll be using this, but can be a pack mule. 😆
Hello friends, 26M UK
Looking to ride with peoples based in/around London. Ride anywhere, but prefer warmer weather...
Have no fitness issues but have little bikepacking experience so looking to tag alone with someone who does or is in a similar position... Don't mind going fast or slow, just want to gain some confidence on a tour.
Ta!
Hello! 36F looking for people to join me on little weekend bikepacking adventures in the UK. I'm based in the West-Midlands without a car, so relying on trains.
I really enjoy exploring the country and to stop for a photo, swim, little picnic, ice cream or anything else that looks nice or interesting. I love camping too and treating myself to a drink (not necessarily alcohol) and nice food after a day on the bike is definitely part of my trip.
I'm physically fit but due to the above my trips are not really about speed or distance.
I'd love to share some adventures with others!
Hi! I'm 29M planning on doing the central and northern region of the Jordan Bike Trail, starting from 10th of April.
If you are interested, send me a message :)
That sounds incredible. I was in Israel in 2022 and people kept telling me to go to Petra. I'm jealous. Will you ride by Wadi Rum?
Thank you. Yes Wadi Rum is part of of the trail.
What are your plans for camping?
Hi y'all,
I am looking for travel buddies who want to go on a +- 10 day mtb bikepacking trip in Switzerland (and maybe a part of northern Italy) end of spring '24 / beginning of summer '24.
Last year I've done a 6-week cross country solo bikepacking trip from Maastricht (NL) via Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland to Italy on my mountainbike. Altought it was a great adventure I would love to share the hours on and of the bike with a group of outdoor, food and culture enthousiasts.
It doesn't matter how old you are, which nationality you have or who you love. I am not about the distance or the fastest time, although a good fitness level will be required facing the alp altitudes. I love to take a swim or buy fresh bread, when the opportunity is there. Let me know if you are interested and I will gather a bunch of nice people to go on an epic adventure.
Exact dates and route will be decided later.
Cheers,
Yoeri (33-year old, Dutch)
I'm (30F) planning a little (6-7 day) adventure from Toronto - Montreal, leaving on July 3rd.
I'm seeking people who are planning something of their own and are headed towards that way and would be interested in cycling together for whatever segments that may be. Also planning on mostly camping throughout.
Tentative route has been planned out, but still needs some tweaking.
Message/send a chat if you may be interested!
Hi im m21 from Germany, I want to do some weekend trips or overnighters the next few weeks I have a little experience with overnights but I have the equipment and lots of experience around bikes :) Text me for trips less then a week long, or weekends. Am located in NRW/Hessen
Hi man ! 21M here, based in Hamburg until the end of summer. I could be interested in riding in Germany during this time :)
Hey! If you are ever in Allgau biking let me know! Gravel heaven here.
Hello, my name is Eduard (from Germany) & I am planning to go to Sweden this Summer somewhere between 15th July and 9th August. I am planning to take a ferry from Kiel to Gotenbörg. I am planning to explore the Lakes and go to Stockholm and return to Gotenbörg as a round trip, but I am flexible when It comes to route planning and open to suggestions.
BR Eduard /ig:hanopt
19M Doing sofia Bulgaria to Baku/tbilisi sometime this early summer. Last summer I did Lisbon to sofia solo so I'm just picking it up from there.
Have done this before. Let me know if you need any route suggestions in Turkey.
Hi! 29M, currently on a big tour from England, hoping to fly from tiblisi to Aktau around the start of May to continue eastwards. Up to now I've been touring by myself and meeting people on the road, but I get the impression it's going to be more remote for dessert crossing!
Would love to find someone else going on a similar route so we could help each other with logistics and have a bit of company for the desert. If you're planning on being there around these dates drop me a message! I'm very flexible with plans and ideas , not on much of a schedule ✌️
‼️Seeking for female riding buddy - trip through the UK this summer‼️
Last summer I solo biked to Norway from The Netherlands (total trip around 1300km). This summer I’m looking to bike across the UK from Harwich in the south to the top of Scotland which will be approximately 1300km as well.
Although I am very excited for this, I do wonder if I can find a +1 for the trip. Last trip was very rewarding but spending multiple weeks alone on the road was getting to me in the end. I’ve had plenty of time to think about what is important in a relationship and realised that adventure and overcoming challenges together is high up the list. So instead of going for boring coffee dates or “a drink” and looking in the wrong places, I’m trying something new! I hope this is all right to post here. If not let me know and I’ll remove it asap.
So in short I’m looking for the following:
- You are female rider with a couple weeks time off on your hands in summer;
- You are from Europe (preferably from the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Denmark or the UK.);
- You are around the same age as me (let’s say +-5 years?);
- Have a bike and your own equipment (tent, bags etc).
The exact date and route I haven’t yet established. I am really flexible with it so I can match if up with your schedule/availability. I’d also like to roughly plan the route together, so we are both happy were it is going to take us!
Ideally we would meet at least once beforehand to see if there is a match.
A little bit about myself:
I’m 28 years old and work full-time as a commissioning engineer. I spent a lot of time in the U.S. for this, but also visit Canada, Mexico and Australia regularly. Besides biking, I enjoy hiking, camping, festivals, Formula 1, and going out for a beer or two. I’m decently in shape but not a real “trained” cyclist or athlete by any means. I love to socialize but also need my alone time now and then. I like to joke around but am very down to earth and straight to the point in general. If you want to know more or have any questions, just ask!
Curious to hear from you! Btw, not opposed to guys either, but this will then be completely on a “friend” basis or for a different adventure. Let’s connect just the same!
19M, Looking for someone that would be down to cycle from Alaska to Argentina starting next July. this would take a year and a half so I understand that's a huge undertaking. I have my mind set on doing it and I would love to have someone to do it with me or several people. I got done hiking the Appalachian Trail this last November so I set this as my next big goal. Let me know if your interested‼️ Happy trails‼️

34m from London—looking to do more proper bikepacking this year. Let’s link up
Hi there, 37M, also based in London. I've got a bikepacking trip planned this Easter in Southern Spain (part of the Badlands route) if anyone's up for it.
Hey I might be up for it, if it's 3-4 day trip. Can you tell me more details about your planned itinerary please?
Sure, since a link is worth a 1,000 words here it is: https://www.komoot.com/collection/2472543/-badlands
Comfy 3 days, nights in hotels, I'm no sleeping on no park benches this time!
Leaving on the 29th of march though I've just seen that the forecast is for rain.
Sadly I caught the flu (plus some pent-up work exhaustion) on Thursday, so I managed to miss this whole thing. And burned a bunch of cash in the meantime.
In a sense it's a bit of a blessing in disguise, for I'm told that the weather in the Granada region has been awful this weekend... so silver lining and all that. I'll try again another time!
Hey mate, if you're planning another tour in Spain then please let me know, I'll be up for it! 26M
Cheers!

23M from Sweden. This summer I want to write a book about a BIKEPACKING trip North-south-north Italy. I have learned Italian on my spare time just to do this! ~80-150km a day. I like to stop to enjoy views and culture, and I plan to interview and interact with many people along the way to make it a memorable trip of a lifetime, worth writing a book about. The subject of the book is not written in stone yet but probably about how diverse Italy really is considering economy, dialects, nature, culture and architecture...
Send me a message of you have the slightly interest! 😁
24M from India. July-September 2024: Hopefully I will be doing a 1-3 week trip around the remote Indian Himalayas. Arunanchal Pradesh and Sikkim or Zanskar Valley, Leh, Spiti in Kashmir Feel free to DM me if you are interested or have ideas regarding bikepacking in India.

Hey! 30 m, lgbt. I’m looking for someone down to do a weekend trip in Midwest United States! I have done a few bikepacking trips solo and would like to experience traveling with someone else. I am waiting for warmer weather so thinking around June/July. I am open to traveling with all forms of experience. I ride typically 11mph fully loaded but don’t mind increasing/decreasing speed. I prefer to tent camp and don’t mind the destination! I was thinking of going for 50-60 miles.

Hi all! I'm 37M, straight, from London. I've been coming to Chicago a few times for work and I've got two more trips to do this April before wrapping up this particular project. I've seen there's some great gravel in the area (I mapped a couple of one-day sessions on Komoot from Stockton, IL) and I'd love to go over there with some mates if the stars align.
My idea was to pitch up for the weekend in one of the towns and ride for about 100/130km (80mi tops?) on Saturday/Sunday. Easy pace, including stops for lunch. Let me know if it's something that works for you!
Heya! I'm a 24M graduate student from Canada doing research in Kyrgyzstan this summer. I'm planning on doing the Tien Shan traverse https://bikepacking.com/routes/tian-shan-traverse-kyrgyzstan/ In early august, starting on the 5th from Bishkek (although I can change my dates by about 5 days on either way). I've previously done the white rim loop (in a day), a couple other misc. overnighters in Utah, and the Westfjords way in Iceland. I speak Russian (which is quite helpful in Kyrgyzstan) and will have been in the country since June, so I will be able to organize logistics and pre-ride parts of the route. I'm looking for someone who is decently experienced and is up for an adventure!
34M from Ypsilanti, MI looking for trips anytime in the area. I usually leave from my front door but I'm definitely down to talk about something further away.
33M from western part of germany looking for travel partners for weekendtrips or overnighter (maybe bigger tours later on).
I am pretty new to bikepacking, but i've been working on my setup for a while now and i am up for some great new adventures!
At least i have a lot of experience with outdoor/overnighter/hiking trips and mountainbiking, so this should be alright.
If you have similar plans or interests - just hit me up! :)
Cheers
Hey M20 also from the western part of Germany, down for some weekend trips or something of that kind. Hit me up if your still available :)

22F in the North of Germany. Looking for travel buddies for the end of march or july/august, flexible concerning the tour - it should be in Europe and somewhat doable to get there via train/bus.
Thinking about the South of France or Italy for March and Sweden/Czech Republic for the summer.
I'm so jealous right now lol. That sounds amazing.
25F, I’ll be touring throughout Europe this summer. Nothing set in stone yet, so I’ll try to remember to check back in with you in a few months. Would be interested in planning something together for August probably.
44M in Oslo, Norway. Looking for travel partners for this year's Easter trip in Europe. Earliest possible start (from home) 23rd March 2024
This is in the early planning stages, so what I know is I want a route where spring has begun (so probably central or south Europe), preferably a round trip if I have to fly to the start and end point. Could also do an A to B and return by train. Max 10 days total, I usually ride 80 to 140 km per day when I'm solo. So maybe 1000 to 1200 km total. I usually wild camp where possible and find a camp site or hostel every third night or so to use the shower and recharge all batteries.
Looking for anyone who has done the Colorado Trail, Denver to Durango for tips.
Greetings All, I'm 53 and quite stupid, stubborn and surprisingly resilient, hence the desire to bikepack, and I recently saw a video by Ryan Van Duzer that is about a year old where he rides that trail and it looks amazing!
I am wanting to tackle this trail and would love to get in contact with anyone who has done this run for any tips on where to stop, what's the best time of year to try this run etc.
Also am looking for buddies whom may want to tackle this with me. I am an ex Navy Corpsman so emergency first response is covered, I ride a Polygon Siskiu T7 full suspension 29'er that I will kit out for the trip.
Searching for buddies with a lightweight allroad/light gravel setup in Europe: May: Munich to Athens through Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro ans Kosovo July: Nothern Germany to Nordkap through Poland and the Baltics 34m from Germany

Hi! 32 male from the UK. Looking to cycle for 2-3 weeks this year through Europe. Destination and route currently unknown. I have little experience planning something like this and would prefer to do it with someone else or as a part of a group. In need of an adventure!

18M from Slovakia, EU. I am planning to bike through Europe for a month or so after I graduate in may. My original plan was going to Finland and Norway solo, but I am not sure about it yet, so I am willing to explore any part of Europe.
Hi everyone, I'm from Belgium, East Flanders (F, 41) looking for one or several riding buddies who would like to ride from Vancouver to Calgary, starting mid June 2024. I have a route in my mind already (inspired by Nathan Starzynski's aka u/nstarzy fantastic trip), it's circa 2000 km long. I plan to ride for 3 weeks, plus resting days (one per week at least). So, I guess it'll be at least 4 weeks in Canada all together. I'm a beginner (two tours in England, around 2000 km in total), but I have already a pretty good idea what to expect and what I'm capable of. If you have similar plans or interests, let's discuss them :-)
35M looking for a partner to take on the Sky Islands Odyssey near Tucson, AZ and the US-MX border in late February or early March. Am TBD on which exact route, and would work that out with you.
32F intermediate bike packer looking to explore the south island of New Zealand in late February. I am looking at some variation of Top of the South and/or a less intimidating trip out of Queenstown. Planning to spend a few weeks down there, would be happy for someone looking for a plan to join me, or to join a group/individual that already has a plan.
Hi, I'm 27M, will start the south island in beginning of February in Picton, so I might be around Queenstown by the time you start. If you do plan to start there feel free to give me a reply, maybe our plans fit together :)
I'd call myself intermediate as well, I do have a pannier setup but on a gravelbike, so everything except for a lot of single trail is fine for me, and I kinda prefer not to have too many very steep slopes in a day if I can avoid it. Like to wild camp or sometimes ask people if I can stay in their garden, and campgrounds every now and then.
26M looking for a travel buddy or two- I'll do Canary Islands (Lanzarote > Fuerteventura > Gran Canaria > Tenerife (will climb Teide (3700m)) > Another island if I'll have time) and will follow the Granguanche trail mostly. :)

I'm also not in a rush & would love to do some scenic trails together if you're in the area :)
I’ll be around in July. Is summer too late?
yeah unfortunately, trying to avoid the summer heat
Ah dang. I’m landing in Austria in June and then making my way through to France (not sure where yet) in July. Might try and find some overnighters or something.
Hi! My name is Swami I'm from Colorado and I'm planning on doing part of the Camino Del Puma Route or Cones and Canyons around the 6th or 7th of December. I think that I will start in about a week from now which is short notice but I thought I would throw it out there anyways. I have some good experience thru hiking and I am excited to get more miles on wheels! If anyone is interested in joining me for a few days or longer let me know! Also highly appreciate any tips from anyone who has done routes in this area. Especially about whether I should go isobutane or alcohol stove or whisperlite etc. Thanks!

Anyone in Patagonia this Dec-Feb(or Mar) - give me a shout. Starting in Temuco, Chile on Dec 7-8th ish, biking around monkey puzzle tree area and then slowly making my way south over dirt roads.
Hey all, 23 M. I head out on a cross country bike trip late Feb/March and am putting feelers out for people who may be anywhere along the following routes
Early-mid march: along the east coast heading south
March-April: heading west along the southern tier of
April: going north along the pacific coast
May: heading east, route not yet determined. Can be a mix of the trans American trail and the northern tier
Pacing would probably be very varied. Currently hoping about 100 miles a day at 10-15 mph. Can adjust for those seeking a partner for shorter stretches and those with better route familiarity
This is very similar to the cross country trip I’ve been planning! Starting in Pittsburgh-> DC, then all the way down to the Key West, then across the Southern Tier.
Are you waiting til March because of Winter I assume? I hear it might be wetter than normal because of El Nino.
Thinking this same thing, taking 12-18 months to galavant all the way around the perimeter of the country while wild planting mushrooms like Johnny FungiSpore and taking time to explore things that may be interesting. Are you in Pittsburgh?
Yea that’s where I’m at, I love the intention of being “Johnny FungiSpore” xD 👍
63 M looking to make the leap from overnight bikepacking to long weekend or week long trips this coming year(2024).
I'm based in SLC,UT area so lots of places to go, and hoping to find similarly minded rider here. I have plenty of cycling experience on road, gravel, singletrack and can easily spend hours a day riding any at least moderate difficult terrain.
I still work full time but hoping to cultivate some riding relationships that I'll enjoy in retirement which will happen within a few years.
Respond and let's chat about possibilies
34M embarking on GDMBR (Northbound) starting in mid to late May 2024 with possible extension into Idaho after completion. Looking to maintain a moderate pace but also want to enjoy some side questing, rest days and the occasional brewery when appropriate.
Hit me up man
Doing Sofia Bulgaria to Baku Azerbaijan this spring.
28F - Grenoble, France
Just moved to the area with my partner and looking for some new bikepacking buds! Moving from SF, so we've done a lot of riding around the mountains and coast of Washington, Oregon, and California. Mostly weekenders and the like. I usually take a pretty leisurely pace and time to explore the places we pass through (especially in Europe and all the lovely little villages!)
Actually heading out on a ride in the Vercors for five days this Saturday so if anyone sees this and wants to join, I'll share deets. But otherwise message me and maybe we can make something work in the future!
Going bikepacking and mountain biking in Oaxaca 11/29-12/12. I’m planning on doing a few of the bikepacking.com routes with a few days in the city mixed in, plus maybe a day or two of shuttled trail riding in Ixtepeji. Trying for a moderate pace that packs in plenty of biking but still leaves time for good food, culture, mezcal, etc! 35M Alaskan, fluent in English and Spanish.
I need a back brief on all of your favorite mezcals and tour notes ;) You’ve just inspired a future trip for me! Cheers
Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France I mostly do weekend bikepacking with camping, but also stay in bnbs depending on the trip if the goal is to cover more distance. Normally do between 50 - 100km per day and average low 20s kph over a day of riding
I'm located in NL, Eindhoven, and do a small trip every month or two.
If you have experience with a couple of trips, hit me up!
May I ask how you like the Nederlands? I was looking at possibly moving there.
I would like to go on a 2-3 week trip in november. Not really sure where yet but in Europe, probably in the south.
19M, I'm not looking to do a lot of distance daily but really just trying to enjoy the day!
I'm pretty open to any ideas!

Looking forward to bikepacking in South West British Columbia and maybe the San Juans next spring sometime. First timer. I'll update this as I get closer to the date but I thought I'd throw this out there if someone has similar plans. Bikepacking in the Yukon later next year is also a possibility.

UK 40F based near Ramsbottom, just completed a 1200km ride across the west Balkans. Would LOVE to meet like-minded bikepackers locally for training and social rides 🍻
I'm uk just getting into it. Any more details on your previous tour. What do you normally do in a day?
Hey! Glad to hear you're getting into it!
I vary the mileage every day depending on the route/stopping points/overall plan (which is all mapped out beforehand). Think I did a minimum of around 70km, and a maximum of 145km in an 8-10 hour day...and I'd take a chill day after a long one - knackering!
On the last tour I did 1200km (13000m) in 15 days, on a good mix of gravel and road, made sure I was camped before dark every day, got lost or endured diversions a few times, and it rained solidly almost every day! I'm pretty terrible at stopping to eat during the day but I carry loads of snacks and always finish with a decent meal and a beer!
Loved every second of it, especially Slovenia and biH. If you want any more insight it's probably best to look at @hodgetts_adventures on insta, the stories are saved on my profile there.
What's your first trip going to be???

Hi ich bin 25m und habe diesen Sommer noch vor ne Radtour zu starten fahre aber nicht gerne alleine. Falls du also noch Gesellschaft auf deiner Rückreise suchst, hätte ich auf jeden Fall vorbei zu kommen.
Kannst mir ja mal ne Nachricht schicken!
24M. Want to do the great divide mtb trail next june / july. Can easily flex my dates, would be keen on finding someone to go with! Tons of cycling experience, not a ton of touring experience
Hi! I'm in Southern Ontario and looking for one or two route buddies for the Farmer's Folly in Southwestern Ontario. I'm pretty flexible on timing but would actually prefer to do this loop in 3-4 days during the week sometime in mid-late August.
More details below:
- Who?: 36M, camping experience but first time trying a bikepacking trip
- Where: Based in Toronto, would drive to St Jacob's for the start
- When: Flexible but ideally sometime during the week as I have some decent time off this summer
If you're interested, send me a DM and maybe we can meet beforehand to see that we vibe.
Hey did you get out and do it?
I did not. There was a really awful stretch of bad weather when I was planning to go. Now it's beautiful but I've been mountain biking a bunch more so I may wait until early next season at this point.

19M from Paris, France
I'm looking to do a bikepacking trip from paris to Nordkapp. I don't yet have an idea of when, because i still need to get myself ready for this in many ways.
I think that finding someone to do this with would help me build up a plan, and get myself going, at last.
I am pretty flexible concerning daily distance, being able to do about 150km a day, on flat terrain. I'd still prefer to take more of a touring approach on this trip, doing no more than 100km a day. This is not a deal breaker for me.
I did an attempt of this route in may 2023, but couldn't go further than hamburg for various reasons, solitude being one.
I would like to note that i do nat have a huge experience in travelling, even though i am far from being complete newbie, so I'm looking for someone to give me knowledge and confidence with this project. (and compagny if possible :) )
21M from Netherlands. Wanting to go to Norway next summer. I am very inexperienced however, and would also need to prepare a lot of stuff.
Hi, I'm a 25 years old Student and also planning to cycle Up to norway this Summer If you can call it that. I tried cycling alone once through poland but had to quit after 3 days due to a lack of social Interactions because No one I've met spoke english. I'd be pleased to hear from you. If you're already on the Go, let me know. I should be on your route living bewegen Dortmund and Hannover. Hope I'll hear from you. Yours, Paul
25M, looking to to the Logan Watt’s Altravesur in southern Spain in mid September, with possibility of extending to Andalusia. Total 1-2 months trip. Lots of elevation, free camping, single track and jamon.
26M Looking at riding from Calais to Barcelona via whatever route looks nice no specific time scale and planning on wild camping and cooking nearly the entire time with some treat hotels etc. along the way. I live right next to Manchester in England so would have to get the train from here to london, then get to dover and get a ferry to Calais! If anyone is up for it let me know, I am doing this to escape the norm, no specific time scale as i said but ideally would like to set off in the next couple of weeks and i expect it to last for a couple of months at most.
I'd love to do the miles with a fellow biker, I will be riding a cotic bfe 26' steel hardtail mtb.
Did you already do this trip? Should I delete this. Doing my janitor duty over here.
