bikepacking.net launched!

I’ve started a new site, bikepacking.net, about a subject that I’m more than a little bit passionate about.
Traveling by bike is such an incredible way to see the world. But day rides can only take you so far. Once you figure out how to be ~comfortable sleeping out on the bike, a new world of possibility suddenly opens up. Throw in some fun, challenging trail along the way and you have quite the combination.
It’s an activity I’d sure like to see more people pick up and get excited about. Hopefully the site will help do that.
I’ve also amassed a fair bit of route knowledge: AZT, CT, CDT, GLR, KT, OR, GDMBR, et cetera. I’ve wanted to get much of that info out on the web in some form, but never found topofusion.com to be the appropriate place for it.
The only amazing part is that I didn’t think of starting a bikepacking site earlier. Much earlier!
So, please go check it out, register on the forum, and help me get it kick started.
Thanks!
