Like to backpack? Like to ride your bike? Why not combine the two? This one-day seminar on Saturday April 27th at the Major Taylor Museum, will covers the basic information needed to get you cycle touring. We will cover what makes a perfect touring bicycle, but more importantly, how you can tour with YOUR bike. We will cover the different types of touring (fully loaded, supported, credit card), route/trip planning, finding places to stay, methods and systems for pannier packing, alternatives to panniers, equipment lists, cycling safety, and provide an array of handouts on where to find specific information and resources. We will touch on the new sport of "Bikepacking" and explain what Bikepacking is all about. As a class participant, you will be given preference to one of our "easy" 2-day/one night mini tours to a local state park. This could be the first step to your next big adventure! There will be a $10 fee to cover coffee and snacks with any remainder going as a donation to the museum. https://majortaylormuseum.org/ ***Please see the PayPal link below.
