Welcome back to the 10 Adventures podcast! In today's episode, I had a fascinating chat with Dennis Lastochkin, a dad who has taken family bike trips to incredible destinations like Italy and Peru. Dennis shares how he gradually introduced his young daughters to bike touring, starting from local rides and gradually progressing to international adventures.
What caught my attention was their recent journey through the remote mountains of Peru, circling the majestic 22,000-foot peak, Huascarán. Dennis explains how he prepared his family for the high-altitude challenges and the incredible cultural experiences they encountered. From staying on local farms to navigating the narrow roads of Italy and facing the unpredictable elements, Dennis and his family have truly embraced the spirit of adventure.
If you're curious about family bikepacking or seeking inspiration for your next adventure, Dennis's stories will surely captivate you. For more details and to follow their journey, check out Dennis on Instagram (handle: @lastochkin) and the cycling team at Night Owls Racing (handle: @nightowlsracing). Get ready to be inspired and consider taking your own family on a memorable biking adventure!
