A bikepacking route is a multi-day cycling adventure with everything you need carried on the bike (bags strapped to the frame, handlebars, and seatpost — not panniers). The classic North American routes are the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (4,418 km, Banff to the Mexican border), the Trans-America Trail, and the GAP+C&O Towpath (538 km, Pittsburgh to DC). In Europe, EuroVelo routes connect every corner of the continent.
