OVERVIEW:
Join BE and five women this May for a 3-day Alpine Loop bikepacking clinic. Camp in alpine meadows, by rushing creeks, and beneath granite cliffs. Learn practical bikepacking skills, build confidence on varied terrain, and connect with like-minded women in a supportive all-women setting.
This 3-day clinic blends classroom instruction, hands-on practice, and on-trail coaching to develop and refine bikepacking skills. Designed to simulate a solo bikepacking journey emphasizing simplicity and self-reliance; you’ll participate in every decision and task. Topics include gear selection and packing, clothing for varying conditions, menu planning and food prep, bike setup, essential bicycle maintenance and repairs, itinerary and route choice, campsite assessment, campcraft, road/town/camp safety, Leave No Trace, and basic wilderness first aid.
This all-inclusive, self-supported 3-day/2-night clinic starts with a day/night at the BE shop for gear orientation and menu planning, then two days/one night riding and camping the Alpine Loop for hands-on experience. All meals and necessary gear (including bike) are provided. An optional Gunnison airport shuttle is available at checkout.
