Matt Kadey

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I have Matt Kadey on the show to talk about the Great Northern Bikepacking Route. Matt had previously need on the podcast in January 2022, so I would highly encourage you to skip back to Episode 122 if you haven't yet listened to it. In that episode we talk a lot more about bikepacking in Ontario and about his motivations towards route development and creation. In this episode we mostly focus on the GNBR, which, once completely tested and finalized, will most likely be the world's longest bikepacking route, coming in at nearly 15,000km.

Matt Kadey | Great Northern Bikepacking Route

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I take a little time to record a solo episode where I talk through my recent attempt on the Canadian Shield XL, a 1200km adventure that takes the rider through a large swath of Western Quebec, from the Ouareau Forest to the north of Montreal, all the way up to Mont Laurier in the north, Otter Lake in the West and Chelsea, Quebec in the South. With an elevation gain of approximately 16,000m, but more realistically closer to 20,000m, this route incorporates as much singletrack and forest roads as possible, while also giving opportunities to rest while crushing some rail trail.

Ridecast | Canadian Shield XL: Planning and Pulling the Plug

Meaghan Hackinen

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, Meaghan and I talk about bikepacking in the Canadian Shield region of Ontario and Quebec. Over the 24 days she spent in the area, Meaghan rode somewhere close to 2000km, riding the Loop des Loups, Canadian Shield 400 and Log Driver's Waltz, setting overall FKTs on the CS400 and Log Driver's Waltz. I was so grateful to have Meaghan as the keynote speaker of the inaugural Canadian Shield Bikepacking Summit, and for all the opportunity to talk about bikes over the 3 weeks she stayed at my house with my family.To support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:https://www.patreon.com/biketouradventures orhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/biketouradventures Thank you to my newest supporters:Kirby BarneyJeffrey NickersonFrancoise IfranJoin the RideWithGPS Bikepack Adventures ClubFind them at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meaghanhackinen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/meaghanhackinenWebsite: ﻿https://meaghanhackinen.com/ ﻿Find me at…WEBSITEYOUTUBEFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMITUNESShow SponsorsPanorama Cycles --&gt; They believe that cycling is a catalyst for adventures, no matter how small they can be.

Meaghan Hackinen | Bikepacking in Ontario and Quebec

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I have the chance to speak with JaBig, while sitting in my backyard watching my dog run circles around us. I had first messaged him a year ago, but he was quite busy and we couldn't make it work. It just so happened that this year we had the chance to connect while he was staying with his sister in Ottawa, before taking on his next challenge cycling from North Cape, Norway to Tarifa, Spain, in a continued effort to fundraise for World Bicycle Relief. With a goal of raising $1 million in his lifetime, JaBig has been taking on some pretty spectacular challenges. In 2017 he cycled 17, 763km across Canada on a fixed gear bike. In 2022 he circum-cycled the lower 48 of the United States, riding 13 255km. JaBig is so much more than a bike tourer. He does an amazing job of blending his life before cycling (BC) where he worked as a DJ in Montreal, Canada with his passion for bikes, often doing guest DJ gigs along the way to raise money for his charity of choice. After our podcast, I rode most of the way back to Ottawa with him and we had a great time chatting and learning more about each other.

JaBig | Cycling for World Bicycle Relief

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I connect with Erik de Brun, one of the founders of Redshift Sports. I'm very excited to have Erik on the show for several reasons. I have been using their products since 2020 when I bikepacked across Western Canada, and have been fortunate enough to be sponsored by them since 2021. I really value the innovations they have been doing in the world of bikes and am always happy to see what they come out with next.Redshift Sports was founded in 2013 by a team of mechanical engineers who also happen to be avid cyclists. From the beginning, they've focused on taking a different approach to product development - drawing on their own experiences and needs to create components that make a meaningful difference to the riding experience. To support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:https://www.patreon.com/biketouradventures orhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/biketouradventures  Join the RideWithGPS Bikepack Adventures ClubFind them at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redshiftsports/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/redshiftsportsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/redshiftsportsWebsite: ﻿https://redshiftsports.com/﻿Find me at…WEBSITEYOUTUBEFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMITUNESShow SponsorsRedshift Sports --&gt; Use code BPA15 to save 15% at checkoutRestrap --&gt; Use code BTAPOD10 to save 10% at checkoutChiru BikesBrockton CycleryPanorama Cycles --&gt; Use code BTA15 to save 15% on a 2023 Chic-Chocs fatbike at checkoutRaceDay Fuel --&gt; Use code BTA10 to save 10% at checkout

From the beginning, they've focused on taking a different approach to product development - drawing on their own experiences and needs to create components that make a meaningful difference to the riding experience. To support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:<a href="https://www.patreon.com/biketouradventures" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/biketouradventures</a> or<a href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/biketouradventures" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/biketouradventures</a> Join the RideWithGPS <a href="https://ridewithgps.com/auto_approve/Club/7729/Bjadk308nKFOqgHA" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Bikepack Adventures Club</a> Find them at:Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/redshiftsports/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/redshiftsports/</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/redshiftsports" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/redshiftsports</a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redshiftsports" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/redshiftsports</a>Website: ﻿<a href="https://redshiftsports.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://redshiftsports.com/</a>﻿ Find me at…<a href="http://bikepackadventures.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">WEBSITE</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPQl_pNcMZA-hHckhVrpmaw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">YOUTUBE</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/biketouradventures/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">FACEBOOK</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bikepack_adventures/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">INSTAGRAM</a><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bikepack-adventures-podcast/id1464406852" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">ITUNES</a> <h2>Show Sponsors</h2><a href="https://redshiftsports.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Redshift Sports</a> --&gt; Use code BPA15 to save 15% at checkout<a href="https://restrap.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Restrap</a> --&gt; Use code BTAPOD10 to save 10% at checkout<a href="https://www.chirubikes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Chiru Bikes</a><a href="https://www.brocktoncyclery.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Brockton Cyclery</a><a href="https://www.panoramacycles.com/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Panorama Cycles</a> --&gt; Use code BTA15 to save 15% on a 2023 Chic-Chocs fatbike at checkout<a href="https://www.racedayfuel.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">RaceDay Fuel</a> --&gt; Use code BTA10 to save 10% at checkout

Colin Unsworth

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I have a chance to speak with Colin Unsworth. What's interesting about Colin is that he is a naturalist, a re-wilder and lives on a canal boat. He calls himself a free-wilder, preferring to be naked in nature. In the summer of 2022, Colin and his partner Sadie, rode a tandem bike 1000 miles from John O'Groats to Land's End in the United Kingdom. The catch is that they did it totally in the buff. Throughout today's episode we talk about the logistics of cycling naked across the U.K., challenges with society's views towards nudity and various other interesting occurrences throughout the trip. They departed on the adventure with the intent of raising funds for a couple charities and surprisingly, with the amount of publicity they received, they were able to raise far more than planned.To support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:https://www.patreon.com/biketouradventures orhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/biketouradventures Join the RideWithGPS Bikepack Adventures ClubFind them at:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/col.unsworthWebsite: ﻿https://foresthorizons.wixsite.com/nakedacrossbritain﻿Find me at…WEBSITEYOUTUBEFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMITUNESShow SponsorsRedshift Sports --&gt; Use code BPA15 to save 15% at checkoutRestrap --&gt; Use code BTAPOD10 to save 10% at checkoutChiru BikesBrockton CycleryPanorama Cycles RaceDay Fuel --&gt; Use code BTA10 to save 10% at checkout

Sofiane Sehili

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I finally have the opportunity to learn a bit more about Sofiane Sehili. When I first reached out to Sofiane over a year ago, he told me that he's done a ton of podcasts and that he'd be happy to come on the show, so long as our conversation is on something new. After following Sofiane and his partner's adventure throughout SE Asia this past winter, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to have him share his adventure and talk about bike touring during bikepack racing's off-season. Most people will know Sofiane as a Parisian bike courier turned bikepacker, as a racer that has un unnatural ability to stay up for really long periods of time and of course, as a pretty highly regarded singer. What you may not know is that it all started for Sofiane on a bike trip in SE Asia years earlier. This time around he came back so he could share the experience with his partner.To support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:https://www.patreon.com/biketouradventures orhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/biketouradventures Join the RideWithGPS Bikepack Adventures ClubFind them at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sofianeshl/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sofiane.shlYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sofianeshlWebsite: ﻿https://sofianesehili.com/﻿Find me at…WEBSITEYOUTUBEFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMITUNESShow SponsorsRedshift Sports --&gt; Use code BPA15 to save 15% at checkoutRestrap --&gt; Use code BTAPOD10 to save 10% at checkoutChiru BikesBrockton CycleryPanorama CyclesRaceDay Fuel --&gt; Use code BTA10 to save 10% at checkout

Jerry Kopack

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I had the chance to connect with Jerry Kopack. It's quite interesting, because he had recently been on a couple other podcasts, but I felt that there was so much I still wanted to learn about him, and figured there is no better time than the present. When Jerry first reached out, I thought he just wanted to promote his book, but surprisingly, we didn't talk too much about his book and instead spent our time talking about his journey from working for corporate America, to founding a hospice, to taking off on a 2-month bikepacking trip in Africa, which led to the journey lasting nearly 2 years. With a continual question propelling him forward, Jerry only ever tried to answer the question "Am I using my time well?" In the aftermath of his adventures, Jerry has taken on a role with Warmshowers on the Board of Governors and also as "the finance dude" as a means of giving back to the community that helped change his life. You might also recognize his voice from Bike Life, the Warmshowers podcast, as he has taken on some of the duties to lighten the load of the other host.

Ridecast | Wendigo Ultra Fatbike Race

I am a traveler, cyclist, expat and teacher with over 15 years experience living abroad in six different countries. As a passionate cyclist I have seen the world by bike and has toured in some truly amazing places, such as Sweden, Germany, Japan, most of SE Asia and of course Canada.During that time, I have traveled to over 40+ countries and met countless travelers, cyclists, and other expats. While traveling by bike, I decided that I wanted to connect the touring and bikepacking community together and this became the catalyst of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast where I share my guests fascinating stories and helps listeners learn tips, tricks, and techniques to improve their touring and bikepacking experience.As it's not possible to always bike tour, I have recently dove headfirst into the bikepacking world with the intent of getting out into nature and spending as much time on my bike as possible. This has re-ignited my passion around bikes and has opened up the podcast to so many more possibilities with interviews of traditional bike tourers, bikepackers, endurance athletes and more.I hope you enjoy the show.Keep on pedalling!

Chris brings a down to earth approach to interviews and his passion for finding out about the people he interviews is appearent.

Top of my bike tour list

Love hearing stories of other tourers, gives you loads of ideas.

Thanks!!

Chris Bennett

In Episode 035 of Bike Tour Adventures, I have the chance to get to know Chris Bennett, a 60 year-old Canadian who settled in New Zealand to escape the Canadian winters. As an engineer working for the World Bank, he has lived and worked in over 34 countries. After completing an Ironman race on every continent, except Antarctica, he shifted to self-supported ultra-endurance bicycle racing. He was attracted to the ‘purity’ of these races where it is just you and your bike trying to get from point A to B as quickly as possible without outside support. Among his races are the Tour Divide from Canada to Mexico, the Transcontinental across Europe, to Istanbul, and most recently the North Cape – Tarifa from Norway to Spain.To support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:https://www.patreon.com/biketouradventures orhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/biketouradventures  ﻿Follow me at…WEBSITE: http://www.biketouradventures.com YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPQl_pNcMZA-hHckhVrpmaw FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/biketouradventures/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bike_tour_adventures/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/BikeTourAdv ITUNES: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bike-tour-adventures/id1464406852 Show SponsorsThe Bike Tour Adventures podcast is incredibly lucky to have some amazing corporate sponsors.

BTA Ridecast: Ottawa to Quebec City - Day 5, Aug 7, 2019

In Episode 038 of Bike Tour Adventures, I have the opportunity to catch up with Jonas Deichmann, an ultra-endurance cyclist that was previously a guest in Episode 13.
