Join us for an epic bikepacking adventure, our 2026 Handup Bikepacking Trip! We will be heading west to Lake Zumbra at Carver Park.
📍We will meet at Behind Bars bicycle shop at 9:30 AM on Saturday August 22nd and roll out at 10 AM. End-point is the group camp sites at Lake Zumbra at Carver Park Reserve. A group will ride back to Minneapolis on Sunday at 11 AM, but feel free to stay longer and enjoy the MTB trails, or alt routes back.
🚲 ~25 miles each way of relatively flat bike path. A mix of pavement and finely crushed limestone - any type of bike will work for these trails.
🍔 You are responsible for feeding yourself. Pack your own sack lunch for Saturday! We will have a couple designated stopping areas where you’ll have time to eat a prepacked sandwich, but not enough time for a sit-down meal. Similar to years past, a group will be going to a dinner spot nearby (Excelsior or similar) for refreshments/dinner on Saturday night. Otherwise, bring your camping stove, cook over the fire, or just eat a bunch of PB&Js!
🍻 Beer and NA beverages will be provided! Feel free to bring your own beverages as well.
💨 We will be rolling at a casual pace of 8-12 MPH. If you feel like cranking up the pace and making it a spicy bikepacking ride, you are free to push ahead of the group unsupported.
🎒 We will be providing gear transport to and from the campsite for items you cannot fit on your bike. We will only have one car so please limit gear transport to one bag, but please let us know if you need additional support. If you need camping gear or bike bags, let us know and we can help.
✅ Bikepacking can bring new challenges & gear you might not usually use. We highly encourage you to test out your setup before you head out on the trip. A pack-up and quick pedal around the block can give you a good idea of how your setup will fare.
💸 All proceeds go to our Dirt Fund which provides support to trans and nonbinary cyclists who would like to get into dirt focused races and events. If you’d like to contribute but aren’t able to make the trip, or want to donate more that the cost of the trip, please send us a message!
