News - 2025 Season is Here!

Our first group overnight ride of the year is one month away. Here are a few key reminders for those getting ready to join in.

Join our Substack

As we prepare to → transition away from Facebook ← we ask that all IWBP members:

1. Create a Substack account. Note that even if you have already subscribed, setting up your Substack account will make it easier for us to continue the community feeling without Facebook. Please include your real full name and a photo.

2. Subscribe (for free) to this publication (“IWBP: Pedals to Peaks”) using the box below if you haven’t already.

“Start Here” Articles

We have three main introductory posts that we recommend for review:

1. New Member Guide — Start here for a summary of what Idaho Women's Bikepacking is all about.

2. Overnight Ride Guide — Monthly no drop overnighters help new or experienced bikepackers build their skills and confidence, and are the real key to the group’s success. Read here everything you need to know before coming along.

3. Guide to the Gear Library — Bikepacking is an expensive sport that requires a lot of specialized gear. Use our free library once, or over and over, to fill in any equipment gaps you may have. Here’s how it works.

Ask Questions!

Your questions are the main way we all learn together. Ask away, about any topic — routes, bikes, gear, clothing, food, hygiene, etc.

For now, you can do this here in the comment section below, or on the Facebook page while it still exists.
