Episode 111: Catching the Bike Touring Bug Leads to 1,100 Miles of Adventure

On the show today you will meet Ben Gibbs. He is a musician and podcaster who I met while biking the Katy Trail. That was basically Ben’s first crack at bikepacking and he was hooked! He upgraded his gear and bike and went on an epic 6 week bicycle tour, exploring the C&O Towpath, the GAP trail, and the Empire State Trail. He traveled over 1,100 miles by bike and describes his experience along with the genuine kindness of strangers. Welcome to our newest sponsor Hammerhead!
