In this lecture we will go over trip planning and logistics using the final field trip as an example. We'll review our own field trip logistics in detail, where, when, how far, how long, etc. And we'll provide some introduction to the tools and techniques you can use to choose routes and create or plan your own trips.
We'll also cover how to match yourself to a trip based on ride classifications and ratings, matching yourself and your bike to various surface types, terrain, distance, elevation gain, weather, food and water sources, etc.
NOTE: An E-Bike is not allowed in this course.
5:45 PM at Seattle Program Center, We'll be in Goodman A & B.
Required Equipment
For those who need help with packing your bike, bring your bike and ALL your gear for the field trip. We will help make final adjustments on your bikepacking set-up and share tips and tricks from what we learned from the check ride.
