  ion: Bikepacking Workshop What is bikepacking? To summarize, bikepacking is the combination of all terrain cycling (pavement/dirt/trail) and self-supported backpacking.  It provides the freedom of back country travel allowing you to cover longer distances than backpacking alone.  You can travel further in places off the beaten path and experience those areas that few venture out to see.  We will review what you need to do to prepare for bikepacking. What type of bike you can use, how to carry your gear, and what to take with you (and what not to take with you). As well as resources on planning your own personal adventure. Date & Time: Monday, June 3, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM Location: Veterans Memorial Park (open shelter) 3100 Atlantic Ave Penfield, NY 14526
