MTB Ben is joined by his new bikepacking partner Kris Ivers on this episode, part 2 of Adventures in Bikepacking. 

Kris and Ben discuss their rides together and how they met eating tacos with Kris' partner in a classic tale of "You like bikes? I like bikes! Let's ride bikes".

Kris shares a bit about his background and traveling around the US and being inspired to start bikepacking while living out west. He shares with us his overall gear selection, bike, and desire to get out more.

Ben and Kris then recap their trips from last fall enjoying two routes (one highly modified) from Bikepacking.com.
