Excerpt from “Chosen Family” in the upcoming fifth issue of The Bikepacking Journal, with words by Jalen Bazile (@jalenbazile) and photos by Adam Pawlikiewicz (@adamonthego).
“Tucked away in the South Platte region of Colorado on Ancestral Ute and Cheyenne Lands is a town called Florissant—a rural and quiet place so small you could hold your breath and drive through it. The forested smell of vanilla and butterscotch from ponderosa pines wisped through the air as we rode over shaded hillsides. We grinned from ear to ear while adjusting to being back on loaded bikes and feeling empowered as a group (of Black and brown riders).”
Read the full story in print by joining our Bikepacking Collective via the link in our profile, and follow @adamonthego and @jalenbazile for more.

“We gathered in a place that used to be home for me. It is safe and peaceful, yet wild and welcoming. It has that empty and forgotten feeling like the land has been sleeping for hundreds of years. However, as the only Black man, it was uncomfortable not to see myself reflected in the community.”
For this trip, Jalen invited @thegreenevan, @adamonthego, and @rachel.olzer to ride and climb in solidarity as his chosen family. Tune in tomorrow to read more about the story, and hit our profile link to get signed up to receive the new issue.

The South Platte region of Colorado, Ancestral Ute and Cheyenne Lands, “... harbors a more subtle grandeur. Nestled on the west side of Tava, also known as Pikes Peak, is a reservoir and canyon called Eleven Mile. I planned for us to ride along the winding gravel roads and granite outcroppings surrounding Eleven Mile before dropping into the canyon the following day.”
Loaded with climbing gear, a group of close friends headed out on a multi-sport trip to breathe in the joys of adventuring and exhale the weight of the current times. Tune in tomorrow to read more about the story, and hit our profile link for details on the new issue.

The Fire & Ice Cave Loop connects two caves in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington, to make a perfect overnighter surrounded by lava beds formed 20,000 years ago. Created by Molly Sugar (@molly.sugar), this route offers varied gravel and dirt roads between open forests, subalpine meadows, and huckleberry fields.
