Bikepacking buds
How amazing it is to be scared, how cool it is to think you are not brave enough, not strong enough, not adventurous enough. How good it is to think you can’t, when a spark says you maybe, then “okay I might try”.
How great it is to have barriers to jump, walls to break and fears to overcome.
1.5 degrees. Air frosts every night. The average minimum temperature in the South of England in January would push no one into camping out in the forest.
In the first month of 2022, Saoirse ran into a crazy challenge on Instagram: she asked for people to join and more than twenty showed up to sleep out in the deep depths of winter.
After this amazing experience, four women got together to get together.
Bikepacking Buds was born to share the sense of achievement which comes from breaking barriers. It might take time, but you will finally get there.
How amazing it is to be bold, how cool it is to feel you are brave enough, strong enough, how good it is to be intrepid.
How important it is to have buds.
Get to know the bike from this Pachamama
Terra M20i
The carbon version of the Terra was another important companion in this overnight exploration. The carbon frame offers the perfect combination of weight, comfort and resistance to perfectly accompany Itzi and Saoirse on this trip.
They make bikepacking trips and give tips. They have a blog and a podcast where they share their experience to all those who ever thought they would, but they couldn’t.
Everybody can join, no matter their fitness or their experience, they just want to make everyone feel what they feel when they are on a bike.
Nature is in the heart of the project, as it is here at Pachamama.
Terra M20i
And we think there’s no better bike for long adventures and pure bikepacking than Terra M20i.
Cat, Itzi, Saoirse and Liv do a great job taking people out, making them connect with the air and the ground:
“You only protect what you love, and you only love what you know”
These women own the moment, they own themselves, they own the earth.
Enjoy the route
