Bikepacking North America's Best Routes: Tristan Ridley (Part 2)

This is part 2 of my conversation with guest Tristan Ridley, a long-term bike traveller who has been taking epic adventures since 2015.  You can listen to Part 1 with Tristan here - Episode 110. Tristan shares his insights about his most recent journeys across North America, focusing on the breathtaking landscapes, challenging terrains, and cultural experiences. He discusses his inspiration from renowned bike packer Iohan Gueorguiv, cycling on the isolated yet rewarding Dalton Highway in Alaska, as well as his time spent on the Icefields Parkway in Canada - a road he claims to be one of the  best paved roads in the world. The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route also features before we get into Tristan's latest project - a brand new bikepacking route he is creating in Utah as well as how his bikepacking setup has changed and evolved over the years of riding.A link to Iohan Gueorguiev's YouTube Channel which we discuss is hereYou can follow Tristan via his instagram account - @tristanrid check out his films on YouTube as well as his personal website.
