Sarah Swallow’s world to bikexploring opened up when she was given her first Delorme Atlas of the state of Ohio. She immediately dived into exploring places that interested her by making her own routes with a paper map, transfering it onto the web, and a gps device. Since Sarah started bikexplorering over 6-years ago, she has made routes throughout the country featured on Bikepacking.com. In 2015, Sarah and her partner became the first bicyclists to pioneer the 5,000 mile dirt road Trans America Trail which was traditionally ridden by Dual Sport Motorcyles. Sarah’s passion for bikexploring stems from the desire to learn, see, and experience something new. This passion fules Sarah’s motivation to spend nine-months out of the year exploring by bike all over the world.

    Stretch your legs and lungs on the trails at the Whitefish Bike Retreat! Each of the WTF Bikexplorers co-founders will lead a 90 minute ride along the singletrack trails and unpaved roads from basecamp. Expect these rides to be beginner friendly and no drop on green circle rated trails.

  • 18:00 / 6:00 PM  - 20:00 / 8:00 PM
    What happens when you bring groups of W/T/F/N-B bikexploring strangers together over rugged multi-day adventures? Magical things. Some of the best experiences and connections are made on the bike and around the campfire. That is why, in preparation for the summit, WTF Bikexplorers hosted a series of five bikepacking trips nationwide. These rides were grassroots opportunities to build a greater connection within our community of WTF Bikexplorers while actually exploring by bike. Let’s take a look at what we learned from these experiences.
