Adventure Club - Solo Bikepacking
HPM's Head Enabler, Adam Bratton, started to plan for the family's annual beach trip. Instead of packing a bathing suit and beach chair into the car, he packed a 2.5L bladder of water and a bunch of snacks into his bikepacking bags.
Before the rest of the family loaded up the car to drive, Adam launched on his solo and self supported bikepacking trip at 5am with 225 miles of rural South Carolina ahead of him. A day and a half later, he joined the rest of the family for some rest and relaxation at the beach.
