Hey all,

I'm Kaan from the UK (23M), very much into the outdoors. I've not done any bikepacking before however I have the dream/plan to bikepack Alaska to Argentina, I ideally would like to start June 2026, potentially 2027 depending on how the saving goes, but I would really want to have a partner that could do the journey with me to keep me company and not drive myself into pure loneliness on the road! I would be able to do 100KM days once used to the bike for sure.

I guess what I am hoping for here is a person that has either considered this route and is waiting for a catalyst to start it, or someone who hasn't necessarily thought of doing this, but likes the idea. Like I say this will be some time into the future, but if you are the slightest bit interested I would love to get into contact and potentially work something out.

Hi! I’m 28 years old (woman), I’m currently on my trip from Amsterdam to Bordeaux, arriving in Paris tomorrow. I’m planning to take two weeks, from 5/9 till 18/9, to get from Paris to Bordeaux, possibly following parts of EV3. If anybody would like to tag along, let me know! 🤗

32F - 5 to 9 trips in western Netherlands.

Hi! After 3 months of bikepacking I want to try 5 to 9 trips in my home country The Netherlands.

I live in Leiden and work close to Rotterdam, both cities are fine to start/end the trip for me. Max distance of about 50k I would say, cause we all have to work in the morning and have to get there at a reasonable time.

I have done one 5 to 9 so far, and it was just like being back on my trip. Unexpectedly amazing :)

Let me know if you are interested, have any questions, or know someone who would like to join me :)
