The road less traveled is rarely paved with perfect intentions. Bikepacking, like life, is a journey of discovery, and sometimes that discovery involves a healthy dose of "what-wases-I-thinking?" moments. But fret not, fellow adventurer! For these wobbles on the path are the very threads woven into the rich tapestry of experience.

Bikepacking is as personal as a fingerprint. Some find solace in the meticulous ritual of a morning coffee, cherishing the comforting weight of their favorite grinder. Others treat sleep like a sacred vow, their slumber a non-negotiable indulgence. Still others embrace minimalism, a testament to their ability to thrive on the bare essentials. There's no "right" way, only the way that resonates with your soul. This journey is about uncovering your own needs, your own rhythm against the wind.

With each expedition, the landscape shifts, demanding a unique approach. Packing becomes a dance between anticipation and restraint. Does the route offer laundry facilities? Three pairs of socks might be a luxury, not a necessity. Sharing gear with a fellow wanderer fosters camaraderie and lightens the load. Remember, your puffy jacket can be a loyal daytime companion and a nighttime bodyguard against the chill. Let your layers be adaptable, just like your spirit.

The thrill of the unknown beckons, but so does the responsibility of planning. While picturesque campsites and breathtaking sunrises may dominate your dreams, don't overlook the logistical backbone of your route. Where will you find water, supplies? How will you handle unexpected detours? A well-considered route is a safety net, a silent promise of peace amidst the adventure.

Be your own master mechanic, for self-reliance is a badge of honor in the wilds. A spare inner tube, a trusty repair kit, a chain link, and a multitool – these are the talismans of a prepared soul. Pack them with the same reverence you pack your sense of wonder. Tailor your gear list to the terrain you'll conquer. Remember, preparation is not a weight, but a pair of wings.

Distance is a relative concept. Don't underestimate the added heft of your fully loaded steed. Design your daily mileage with your fitness level in mind. Allow yourself ample time to arrive at camp before the sun dips low, gifting yourself precious moments to unwind and refuel beneath a canopy of stars.

Embrace the unexpected! Sometimes the greatest discoveries lie off the beaten path. Be flexible, a willow in the wind. A friendly local might reveal a hidden gem, a spontaneous detour leading you to a feast under a starlit sky. Perhaps after days of conquering miles, your body whispers for a day of rest, or a shorter ride. "Be like water, my friend," they say. Adapt, flow, and find your rhythm.

One final note, a whisper of caution: a helmet is your loyal guardian. Miles from civilization or nestled near the city's heart, a head injury is a souvenir you don't want to collect. Ride safe, and may your adventures be filled with the music of laughter and the whispers of the wind.

BIKE TRIP - J’ai participé ces 4 derniers jours à la dernière aventure du recto verso tour de @lesothers ! Une super expérience de gravel et bivouac que je devais photographier. Ma première expérience backpacking avec mon vélo ! J’ai mis mon @girs.bikes à rude épreuve notamment à cause d’une chute dès le premier jour et un petit coup sur le dérailleur mais j’ai heureusement pu continuer l’aventure sans trop de problèmes ! J’ai partager ces bonnes journées avec @louisdrrn , @al.air et @jbdelorme ! De la rigolade, des bonnes journées de bike, des tartes aux myrtilles et du lard ! J’ai réalisé toutes les photos de cette aventure dans les Vosges avec le nouveau @fujifilmfrance XH2S 👊🏼 . . . . #lesothers #lesothersmag #outdoor #outdoorphotography #outdoorphoto #bikepacking #bikepackinglife #gravel #gravelbike #gravelride #vosges #vosgestourisme #photo #photography #photographer #fujifilm #fujifilmxh2s #xh2s #girs #girsrnr #rnr #bivouac #bivouacoutdoor (à Massif des Vosges) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgBlZ6sLVQf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bikepacking in Ticino May 30th to June 1st 2020. With Raffi and Martin, who borrowed my winter singlespeed for this trip. I could not let him mash and spin like a hamster all alone, so I took my Chameleon as a singlespeed as well. Two bikes, two gears! And maximum hipster cred/ stupidity levels. Whatever your opinion about singlespeed mountain biking, it was definitely not quite optimal for bikepacking in the Southern Alps. But who said fun needs optimal equipment? We definitely walked more than we cycled, but had lots of fun anyhow. We also carried the bikes a lot, so I am not so sure if gears would have made that much of a difference in the end.

We had originally planned a loop from Ambrì via Passo Campolungo over to Fusio in the Valle Maggia and back to Airolo via the Passo del Naret. We had to return at 2300hm from the Passo del Naret though, because there was still too much snow and things got sketchy. So we had a beautiful ride down along the Maggia instead (well at least the upper parts of the Valley).
