We will initially prioritize first time bikepackers for registration.
We were all first-timers at one point and we know how intimidating it can seem. This is a great time to try it out! We're also chock-full of advice and guidance to get all your gear on your bike and help you have a great experience. Come by the shop anytime we're open with a list of what you'd like to bring, and we'll help you figure out how to get it on your bike!
THE DEETS:
Meet at the shop.
We'll leave the shop around 5pm and ride to Umstead State Park.
The ride is about 13.3 miles to the Umstead's Family Campground. The route has some pretty good-sized hills but we'll take our time getting there.
On Sunday morning, checkout is at 11am. We usually do a staggered roll-out, meaning you can leave whenever you want, with whoever you want, but you won't have to ride back alone if you don't want to.
You gotta carry your own gear and food. The ride is no-drop but self-supported.
There will be plenty of tent and hammock camping spots.
All items must be packed out the following morning, so plan with that in mind.
Drugs & alcohol are not allowed by the park.
