The Radavist

Bikepacking Roots is running a summer fundraiser giveaway with heaps of swag and prizes up for grabs. Let’s take a look at what the non-profit is giving away!

FSA and Polygon are running a giveaway, called The Gravel Quest. Find out how to enter and what you’ll win below!

Last week, when we announced that we are once again an independent website, we also provided an overview of our Group Ride subscription platform. In addition to supporting the work we do here, there is also a growing list of Group Ride subscriber benefits including the ability to post gear for sale in our Rad Bazaar and automatic entries into giveaways from our favorite brands!

After the outpouring of excitement around Matt’s Ornot 10th Anniversary story and related Decade Collection giveaway, we’re doing another one with Ornot exclusively for Group Ride members.

Read on below for how to enter the Handlebar Bag + $250 Gift Card giveaway!

Along with Ornot founder Matt Quann’s retrospective of his ten favorite moments in business as an independent cycling apparel brand during the past ten years, we’re stoked to partner with ORNOT for a giveaway! To celebrate the brand’s 10th anniversary they are releasing a limited-edition Decade Collection inspired by the jersey that started it all. Sign up below for a chance to win a Decade prize pack (limited edition jersey, bottles, and socks) + a one-year subscription to our Group Ride! Feeling lucky, Ornot.

You’ve got just two days left–Wednesday, August 16th is the last day–to sign up for this giveaway!

Building trails require funds and one way for trail organizations to raise money is by raffling off a brand new bike. The Oregon Timber Trail is working with Giant/Liv so that one lucky winner will walk away with a new Giant Trance Advanced 29 2 or Liv Intrigue Advanced 2 carbon mountain bike in your size, plus a full set of Giant bikepacking bags and a guided trip with Cog Wild. This explorer’s prize package contains $3,000 worth of prizes and all the proceeds from this giveaway go to support the work required along the Oregon Timber Trail.

Giveaways and contests like this are like turning this plane – the website – into a mirror. It opens the viscera to expose how people ride and recreate. All with a simple click! It shows and shares their passions and their communities. That’s the easy part. The hard part is picking winners! After lots of back and forth with a few judges, the two posts that everyone agreed on were these two photos!

Kawika‘s caption didn’t hurt either! “Fuck these half ass tied, fake food flys… but hey, selfie time, get my good side!” ~ Mr. Peacock Bass

Jose‘s group shot on a bikepacking trip around Real de Catorce showcases his community and the caption is so good!

Thanks to everyone who submitted a photo and had fun with it! We had a blast reading through the comments in the original post and checking out the hashtags!

We’ll be sending off a Leatherman Free to each winner.

These Dream Bike raffles from Easton are getting better and better. The third one is my favorite, and I’ve shot photos of it before at Interbike. Seriously, Black Cat makes some of the nicest bikes…

Check out more information on this Black Cat Dream Bike:

Easton Cycling has announced the third installment of The Dream Bike Charity Raffle, a steel Black Cat race bike. The Dream Bike Charity Raffle is a promotion giving away hand-built road bikes from Calfee Design, Rock Lobster Cycles, Black Cat, Caletti Cycles and Hunter. All proceeds from each raffle are donated to five charities selected by the frame builders. Each bike is outfitted with Shimano Dura Ace and Easton EC90 components including the new EC90 Aero 55 wheelset. Raffle tickets are available on Easton Cycling’s Facebook.

The last Dream Bike raffle was a huge success with the Calfee Manta Pro, this time Easton’s doing a different kind of Dream Bike with Rock Lobster! Find out how you can win by reading below!

Psychedelic, cult rock, mixed in with Pacific Northwest vernacular influences is how’d describe White Orange‘s sound. But since they’re such stoners, they rant on about how White Orange embodies a “synesthesia of sound and movement, an ideological translucent experience, jammy epic psychedelic trance rock”. If you grew up listening to desert rocksters Kyuss, or had your skateboarding sessions fueled by Dinosaur Jr, these guys are for you. Hell, my dad’s love for King Crimson trickled over into my childhood music taste. All of these bands, mixed in with some Alex Grey-inspired cult album art make White Orange one unique band. And you can win some of their music, including a 2x LP.

Tuesday Teardown is back and I figured I’d start it off with something a lil different.
