Today’s guests both just completed the 2024 Bones to Blue bikepacking race that started in Truckee California and made a big lap around Lake Tahoe. The course is 250 miles with 31,000 feet of elevation gain and it’s in a historic and beautiful part of the Sierra Nevadas. They’re both fast bikepackers and finished 1st place in their respective classes.

Today’s episode features Nico Francis (They/Them), a veteran climber, backpacker and outdoors person who is new to the bikepacking world. Nico reached out to me through a mutual friend with a bunch of bikepacking questions. So I thought let’s turn this into a sort of Q&A and capture this on a podcast so everybody can benefit. If you’re a new bikepacker today’s episode is definitely for you.
