If you’re looking for a two-week-long tour of epic doubletrack in Northwestern Colorado, then check out the latest Bikepacking Roots CRoP! The Rolling Horse route was designed with particular attention to the region’s rich natural and human history. It roughly circumnavigated the Grand Hogback–a 90-mile-long spine of upturned rock marking the geologic meeting of the Southern Rockies with the Colorado Plateau.
The route seeks to reveal the intimate connections between the many varied landscapes once stewarded by the Nuche (Ute people); specifically, those whose ancestors hunted amongst the high places we now know as the Elks, Raggeds, Flattops and Roan; and gathered along the banks of the Roaring Fork, Crystal, Colorado, and White Rivers.

Bikepacking Roots just announced a bike touring route through one of our favorite locales in California: the Lost Sierra. This area is incredibly remote with only a few small towns sprinkled throughout the valleys found between craggy peaks. You’ll encounter steep double track and ripping singletrack, with alpine lakes and plentiful wildflowers.
Check out the full route at Bikepacking Roots.
The Ranchita Rambler covers the high and low deserts in one go, with epic landscapes, the best mom-and-pop resupply shops you could ask for, and camping in a designated Dark Sky community.
This route is perfect for exposing mountain bikers to touring and bicycle camping but also fun and adventurous enough for the seasoned rider—it’s short at 57 miles long, has breathtaking landscapes, offers resupply and camping options with amenities, and supports rural communities via low-impact tourism.
