PACKDURO: 5 Days Self-Supported Bikepacking in the Canadian Rockies // Project Freewheel

....sorry for the wait guys, a little late on this one! An epic 5 days, bikepacking the Canadian Rockies, with a twist. Not your usual bikepacking trip, as we mostly hike a bike up steep mountains in search of scree to shred, we've named it Packduro. A beautifully crafted route concocted by our main mastermind Chris Volkart from years experience mountaineering these remote areas a decade ago on foot. Our 5 strong team took the challenge on with a collective knowledge that produced this documentary, a first for Project Freewheel. A reminder that when good people come together, something magical happens. Enjoy!
We didn't manage to line up an interview with our 5th member Kirk but rest assured we will capture him on the next one!

[@bertski60]

i was just kind've watching but not listening too close. i looked up and thought "that looks like landslide lake". i haven't been there for 35 years or even thought about it for likely 15 years. when i then heard landslide lake mentioned i was amazed i remembered it so vividly.
cool video...thnx for posting.

WOW! I've been watching all sorts of bikepacking vids lately as I've re-found my love of cycling. At 52 and after 7 cancer battles, I won't be tackling the mountains like that, but riding 11 to 93, to wherever is ion the bucket list! I camp out that way every years, and absolutely love it!
Thanks for the inspiration!
