No. 01: The list

Email is required. A photo and a story are extra.

Email First name (optional) Who are you? (optional) A sentence or two about you as a rider. Helps me know who is on the list. Photos (optional) Up to 20 photos. Pick from your camera roll.

Before you send photos

This photo is women only, with no men in the frame. You’re okay with me using it on the Women’s Bikepacking site, newsletter, and social. You still own the photo.

Optional

Okay if I look at what you send?

Photos or a story. I might use them on the site, in the newsletter, on the podcast, or for an interview. Not right now is fine. You still get the newsletter either way.

Yes Not right now

How far into bikepacking are you? First 10 miles, first 100 miles, first overnight, bigger tours, or dreaming it up. Tell me the adventure Where, when, what held up, and what you would tell a friend.
