  • Keep it up!

    I’ve really enjoyed listening to this podcast. I found Bikepack Adventures upon returning home from my second bike tour (France to Istanbul) and it’s been really nice to listen to stories/ still feel connected to the bike travel community as my trip ends and I transition back to ‘regular’ life… and maybe start dreaming about the next trip!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bangers Bikepacking Rally with Dean Dahl
Q: What are the core principles behind making Bangers a community-focused, low-pressure event?
The core idea is inclusivity and accessibility: a free, open-ended weekend where teams choose their routes, film their experiences, and share their stories rather than race. The event emphasizes collaboration, volunteer spirit, and a sense of belonging over competition, with support from local clubs and sponsors to keep it grassroots and of high quality.
Bangers Bikepacking Rally with Dean Dahl
Q: What made you choose the North Okanagan as the base for Bangers instead of closer to Vancouver?
The North Okanagan was chosen for its quieter, more remote roads that still have well-maintained access, and to avoid the traffic and crowding around Vancouver while keeping access to scenic single-track and country roads. It provides a balance of accessibility and seclusion that suits a weekend, self-directed format.
Inside the Tour Divide with Robert Givens: Riding, Recording, and Storytelling
Q: What did the Divide teach you about yourself that you didn't already know?
It taught Robert that he doesn't need very much to get by in a day and emphasizes the importance of appreciating what one has beyond the bikepacking experience.
Inside the Tour Divide with Robert Givens: Riding, Recording, and Storytelling
Q: What originally drew you into cycling and how did it come to evolve into a lifelong passion?
Robert shares that it began as a way to ride bikes as a kid, evolved into mountain biking, and hitting milestones such as charity events and the decision to tackle the Tour Divide after watching the Ride the Divide movie.
Kara Folkerts | Running Tour Guide, Bikepacker and so much more!
Q: How do you balance sustainability with the desire to explore?
Kara explains that she tries to limit flights and to stay in places longer, integrating more into the environment and making more mindful travel decisions.
