FAQ (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS).

1. WHO is this ride for?  

The ideal participant is someone who has been wanting to bikepack and has been searching for the perfect beginner level ride and also good for an experienced bikepacker who is dying to DEMO a Salsa Bike.

2. HOW FAR is this Trip?

Expect to do about 30+ miles day one and 25-30+ miles Day two.  Terrain will vary from pavement and renegade trails.  To Sand, single track and clay roads.  BRING YOUR ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT.

3. WHERE ARE WE GOING?

We are riding to Bunk Camp in Seminole Forest.  At BUNK Camp there is an enclosed Shelter that can accommodate 8 riders.  This minimalist shelter only has wooden bunks, so you will need at the minimum a bed roll or something similar.  YOU DON'T Have to carry any gear aside from what you would normally carry as the JCS BIKE SHOP van will be coming to camp later that evening to drop off supplies and your camping gear if needed.

4. WHEN do we START?

IF you plan on taking a DEMO bike for your overnight, then come to the shop around 4 pm on March 15th so you can pick up the bike you like and then if you plan on loading it up, we can lend you bags and get it outfitted.  SO this is a great chance to learn from more experienced bikepackers on how to load your bike.

5. IS THERE A COST?

The  DEMO and CAMPING ARE FREE.  BUT, drinks at Central 28 and the expenses you incur at the YOLO after party are all on you.  Makes sense?

Hope to see you out there, it's gonna be a blast,
