It's around this time of year that I get the urge for travel and adventure but, like many, real life can often get in the way. The idea of a multiday bikepacking adventure sounds amazing, but in reality, fitting it in between work and life schedules can be tough. There's also the prospect of wild camping, which can be amazing if done correctly but can be very intimidating and a source of concern for many.
I'm a big fan of micro-adventures, which help quench my wanderlust without impacting all of adult life's other day-to-day trials and tribulations, such as family and work schedules. An adventure ride means different things to different folks, but for me, it largely entails a ride on a route I've not done before and a night away from home, preferably somewhere with epic scenery and multiple options for cake and coffee stops.
