We will be adding a series of 4 short, new offroad bike touring/ bikepacking routes to the site this coming fall & winter.
The Desert Collective Bike Routes will begin as 4 unique but interconnected routes coming available this fall & winter, plus BikesGiving this November 23rd & 24th; a one-time group gathering to ride a portion of the Collective and enjoy a meal together.
I’m really excited to see the Collective coming together. These routes have been a long time in the making, which is not to say I’d set out to “make a new bikepacking route” (Stagecoach 400 is a very tough act to follow) but I felt the cycling community could benefit from them. They’re each relatively short, doable routes for the intermediate bikepacker. It’s my goal to use these routes to help us all gain a little more understanding of these areas I’ve come to love over the years. I hope you enjoy them.
