189: My First Bikepacking Trip: Why the Good, the Bad and the Unknown Make It Worth It

from The Blue Rose Podcast · host Becca Blue Rose

We daydream about the good parts of adventure — the sunrise views, the open roads, the highs. But bikepacking isn’t just a highlight reel. In this episode, I’m recapping my recent trip and reflecting on the full spectrum of the experience: the joy, the struggle, the surprises, and the moments that made me question why I was even doing this.I share why I believe every trip is a lifetime in miniature, why being underprepared might be better than never going at all, and what bikepacking reminded me about showing up — for the journey, and for yourself.Whether you’re a rider, a dreamer, or someone who’s been waiting to feel “ready” — this one’s for you.
