January 26 - what is bikepacking? w Samuel Martin
Bikepacking has exploded in popularity over the last few years, but what exactly is it? In this session, we'll go over everything you need to know ...simply filling up your backpack for a quick ride to your local park all the way up to weeklong self-supported trips in the backcountry. Clinic is lead by HPM Founder, Adam Bratton and friend of HPM, Samuel Martin who completed the Tour Divide in 2021 (and 2023?) march 9 - intro to adventure racing
In simple terms, Adventure Racing (AR) is basically a scavenger hunt like the good ol days! The goal is to find various checkpoints as fast as possible. Since there is no set route to follow, and no required number of checkpoints to collect, participants can make it as competitive or causal as they want. Clinic is lead by HPM Founder, & Race Director for the South Fork Sampler Adventure Race (April), Adam Bratton June 8 (New date) - Rules of the road with bike law

We will answer these questions and more during this important session for cyclists AND drivers alike! Clinic is lead by Ann Groninger of Bike Law (North Carolina and Utah) & moderated by HPM Founder, Adam Bratton July 20 - Different Boats for Different Folks w Catawba Riverkeeper
