48-HOUR ADVENTURES

Bikepacking is a way of travelling by bike that combines riding, exploring, and staying overnight along the way - often with everything you need to be self-sufficient carried with you. Despite how it’s sometimes portrayed, bikepacking doesn’t have to mean huge distances, hardcore camping, or rough conditions. For these guides, bikepacking is about slowing down, enjoying the journey, and fitting adventure into real life - whether it’s your first overnight ride or your fiftieth.

Absolutely! These guides are designed with beginners in mind. Routes are planned to be achievable, enjoyable, and low-stress, with clear GPX files, step-by-step itineraries, and personally-vetted overnight stops. Even if you’ve never camped, planned a multi-day ride, or spent a night away from home, the guides break everything down so you can focus on the fun. By following the route and the plan, you’ll have a full adventure without the guesswork — and you’ll likely come away feeling more confident than you expected. And if you’re a seasoned bikepacker, the guides are still perfect for squeezing in extra adventures without the stress of planning. Got a free weekend?

This includes: Pre-designed, ready-to-ride routes with downloadable GPX files so you can follow the route easily. Step-by-step daily itineraries covering where to ride, when to stop, and how to pace yourself.

You don’t need anything fancy — these guides are designed to work with everyday bikes. A road bike, gravel bike, hybrid, or even a sturdy commuter bike will all do the job. The routes stick to paved or quiet country roads, so there’s no need for off-road tyres or mountain bike skills. The most important thing is that your bike is in good working order and comfortable for a full day of riding.

You don’t need to be an athlete to enjoy these adventures! The routes are designed to be achievable for most people with a basic level of cycling fitness. Think of it as a weekend of fun, not a race — you can take your time, enjoy the scenery, and stop when you need to. The step-by-step itineraries break each day into manageable sections, so you can pace yourself and build confidence as you go. If you’re new to cycling or haven’t ridden for a while, these guides are a great way to get back in the saddle without pressure — and even seasoned riders can use them to squeeze in a weekend adventure without overexerting themselves.

Absolutely! Each guide is carefully planned to fit into a 48-hour adventure, so you can complete the route over a weekend or a couple of days. The itineraries break each day into manageable sections, making it easy to enjoy the ride at your own pace. Of course, everyone rides differently — some people take longer breaks to explore, enjoy lunch stops, or soak up the scenery — and that’s totally fine. The guides are flexible, so you can adjust timing to suit your own pace while still experiencing a full, rewarding mini-adventure. Even if it’s your first overnight ride, these guides are designed to make it feel achievable, fun, and stress-free.

Each guide comes with GPX files that you can download and use with your bike computer, GPS device, or smartphone.
