Introduction to the course content and structure. Bikepacking trip types, bikes and gear. After an introduction, we'll divide into groups to share the bikes, bags, and ideas between participants and instructors. The goal is to help understand options and gear, see different ways of using the gear and packing a bike, and help in your planning and preparations for the Check Ride and the Field Trip.
NOTE: An E-Bike is not allowed in this course.
Doors open at 6:00pm with a brief welcome presentation and introductions. We aim to finish no later than 8.30pm. We will meet at the Seattle Program Center. Room will be announced in the Hello Biker email, and watch for a sign and/or the TV screen in the lobby.
