Group Bikepacking

[Shawn Gossman]

CycleWerx is Missouri did some group bikepacking rides recently.

How do you feel about group bikepacking in general?

Would you like to see more events like this take place?

Have you ever participated in a one?

I don't know how i feel about it. I don't typically like riding with a group unless everyone is of similar levels of fitness. It's difficult to balance many different fitness levels, as no one wants to feel like they're holding anyone back.

I totally get that.

I typically won't ride in the "no drop" group rides because I know at some point, I'll get dropped and I feel bad when people keep having to slow down to let me catch up.

Usually I warn people that I'll drop at some point and to just keep going and I'll catch up when I catch up, lol.
