Blogs as a bikepacking resource

[Dale Wambaugh]

I want to mention how useful blogs have been as a resource for bikepacking—and cycle touring too. There are so many people on amazing adventures in remote parts of the world and they have shared with incredible photographs and journals. I've mainly been using WordPress, searching with keywords like bikepacking, adventure biking, bicycle touring, fat bike, fat cycling etc.

Thanks Dale,

As I am gradually moving from NY where trails are rarely bike friendly to Arizona where trails are often bike friendly, I am considering doing much bikepacking in the near future.
