Took advantage of the first really nice day this spring to change over my Cogburn CB4 from winter mode... ...to Expedition ready. Additions are as follows: Blackburn Outpost Cargo rear rack and fork cages; Cogburn frame pack; bottle cage to underside of downtube for fuel bottle; Wanderlust...

Just back from 3 days of bikepacking and photographic cataloging an historic site in the interior of the Chippewa National Forest (MN). Upon the recommendation of several friends, I took the Pugsley and had a blast! Setting it up for serious backcountry expeditionary cycling with Surly front...

Stop the presses! Holy Hot Wheels, Batman! I may have to become a Trekkie again! Just introduced at the Trekworld Trek dealers gathering, the new 2015 Trek 920 Adventure Bike. Until I got my Volcanic Vx7, all of my MTBs were from Trek, and I still ride one at work. Been thinking of upgrading my...

Ever since I survived a (non-cycling related) traumatic brain injury about 3 years ago, my wife and daughters (one of whom is an RN) insist on my carrying a SPOT Tracker on every solo excursion. My SPOT is a first generation, original unit and it works fairly well. Not perfect in tracking mode...

Seems every new "expedition" bike that comes along these days is a fat-bike. Here is Salsa's new expedition model, the Blackborow, available in 2X10 or singlespeed. (I like the Moots Snoots--covered in detail elsewhere on ExPo-- better, but this is MUCH more affordable and comes in one of my...

Of course, I don't have the balance to ride an ordinary/penny-farthing bike, but it still looks like fun:http://vimeo.com/100740937 Ride safe, Hans

I have been using Topo Fusion a lot this month because it is the "official" mapping software of the Tour Divide race, which I have been following. It has worked very well and seems very compatible with overland bicycle travel, which is how I roll. I am also attracted to the new Overland...

Is anyone else following the biggest, longest overland mountain bike race in North America (maybe the world), the Tour Divide? Race starts in Banff, AB, Canada tomorrow, and in about 3 weeks, the first rider will make it to the Mexican border at Antelope Wells, NM. I am rooting for Scott Piquet...

Got the new issue of Adventure Cyclist from Adventure Cycling Association yesterday. Great article on the type of trip this forum is all about; a 9-day drip up the Canol Road (Canol Heritage Trail) in the Northwest Territory by mountain bike and pack raft. Good photography, too. Very similar to...

Since this isn't a "cycling" forum, per-se, I thought I would ask what you wear while riding multi-day trips? Plain and simple, I am not a jersey and spandex shorts-type guy. I have jerseys, but I wear them mostly on training and social rides (where I am not working medical support) with the...

After watching the season finale of "Expedition Overland" Wednesday night, I was wondering, has anyone ever ridden (or attempted to ride) the Alexander MacKenzie Heritage Trail in British Columbia on an MTB or fat bike? Did they run into as much trouble as these guys? http://youtu.be/zUq01YkX61Q...

Don't recall seeing where anybody posted this: Blackburn has four product testers each year, called "Blackburn Rangers", who field test Blackburn racks and other bike products under actual field conditions, 2 on the Pacific Coast Highway and 2 on the Great Divide Mtn. Bike Route/Tour Divide...
