THE QUESTION

How much can one bike do?

We built this route because we couldn't find one that connects gravel and rafting the way we wanted, so we're stitching it together ourselves. The bike has to handle all of it: loaded riding, rough road, and getting lashed to a raft and dragged through whitewater. Follow along as we try to pull the whole thing off before winter catches up with us.

The Partnership

A packrafting route that's never been connected. Made possible by Rodeo Labs.

Timeline

September - October 2026, racing the cold south.
