Victoria, Australia
By Victoria Veldhuizen
Despite forecasts predicting a scorching day followed by heavy rain, we embarked on a brief ride along the Castlemaine-Maldon Trail, camping in one of our favorite historic gold-mining towns. Our journey was rewarded with rare bird sightings, an empty campground, and a mob of 20 kangaroos grazing just 15 meters from our tent—plus, we managed to avoid the rain!
Haute Fagnes, Belgium

A chilly overnight ride through the snow-covered Haute Fagnes, passing by Belgium’s highest points. A cold, starry night, followed by a sunny morning to warm the toes back up… what more do you want!?
Baja California, Mexico

Emily and I recently completed a nine-day bikepacking trip on Baja’s Cape Loop. Initially, I was hesitant due to Baja’s popularity as a bikepacking destination, but now I understand the hype. The riding was excellent (albeit slow at times), the food was delicious, and the locals were friendly. I’ll share more soon, but for now, here’s a photo from an optional coastal section I added between El Pescadero and Todos Santos. It was well worth the extra effort!
