Hello Fine Forum Folks,
I'm working on an article for Dirt Rag and am asking for contributions from you, the experts.
(I've already asked some of the more well-known bikepacking experts, who may already post here, but wanted to put this out there in case anyone who hasn't already been in print would like to be.)
Basically this is an article about places to go bikepacking, in the style of our annual Ride Guide collection of "local knowledge" places to ride. There are a few simple questions to answer, in flowery phrases or short and simple style (pasted below). The questions can be answered individually, or together as one narrative.
If you would like to contribute, please answer away and send to me at
editor@dirtragmag.com. I don't have much space to work with, but I may be able to use some "extra" contributions online, if that's OK with the answer-er. If you can provide photos of the place(s) you talk about, that's a big help.
The questions:
- What was your favorite and/or most memorable bikepacking trip?
- Total distance?
- What makes the area you rode in special?
- What was your “style” for the trip – as fast as light as possible, slower with more sightseeing, particular destination, etc.?
- Was there a scary or particularly challenging moment? What happened?
Feel free to ask questions of me if that helps.
Thanks!
