Jen Adams: 7000kms Bikepacking the Log Drivers Waltz & Tour Divide
Listen now
Description
Looking for bikepacking ideas for an adventure in North America?  Then you need to listen to this episode with Jen Adams, bikepacker and curator of the Log Drivers Waltz - an  800km circuitous bikepacking route in Canada.  Jen and her husband Eric pieced together this route after taking their own bikepacking trip, and realising they had quite a lot to offer up to adventurers in Ottawa, Canada.  Jen has been very active in the outdoor adventure sports community - you could say since childhood.  She is a champion ski marathon racer, as well as accomplished Canoe guide as well.  But lately, bikepacking has become her passion and it really shows. In 2022 she took  a 7000km  bikepacking trip taking in the grand departs of both the Tour Divide,  as well as the Log Drivers Waltz.  The experiences gained on a trip this big are many and varied, and I especially enjoyed listening to Jen share her insights during our discussion.  She is also very passionate about increasing participation to these events by those in minority groups and it's great to hear about the grass route projects she has started, which is leading to breaking down the barriers to getting people to to the start line.
