Pedaling Out Of Our Comfort Zone: A BIKEPACKING STORY | Grinding Gravel in the Driftless Area | Iowa

[@supabakezoid5643]

Thanks for the ride! The Dubuque area is no joke. Most people think Iowa is a flat corn maze, the Driftless definitely is not. Beautiful country for sure, the further north the better. And no, that park is not the best. I've been checking into some of the gravel around the W.M.A's north of there and making a BikeFishing trip from one trout stream to another.

That’s awesome 👏 thanks for watching 👍. We were very surprised at the elevation changes out there. We were not prepared lol.

Awesome video! I can't imagine filming my first bikepacking trip! The driftless area is so beautiful. I first did the trip through Wisconsin on the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail with a motorcycle, but I am craving to do it by pedaling because there is so much I felt like I missed. Nice work, I wish you many safe miles!

Thank you so much! This was quite an adventure that I look back on very fondly. Hopefully this year I’ll give bikepacking another try, I really liked it.

I'm bikepacking in Florida but up north where you guys are, looks really nice, not hot like here.

[@TheDustyDutchman]

The weather on day one was great, day two was a little more wind then I like lol. But prolly a lot less hot then Florida!
