What is ultra bikepacking, and how do you get into it?

With any activity, there are always people who want to go further or faster. Like ultra running, where people run further than a marathon distance, so ultra bikepacking is the endurance challenge of riding further than most people would even dream of, with only the gear they can carry on their bike.

Ultra bikepacking is also known as ultra-distance bikepacking or ultra-endurance bikepacking, and while there doesn't appear to be a set minimum distance, it’s usually assumed you'll be bikepacking non-stop for days or even weeks.
