Neil is back after two months off! He welcomes new co-host, Michael Ackerman, to the show. They start off with an intro of Michael and then dive right into bikepacking talk. Listen in for updates from Neil's time at Interbike and Outerbike, which includes discussion about bikes, packs, tires, and other new goods.
 
They also chat about Neil's recent White Rim in a Day trip and give a hint about the upcoming routes tool on Bikepackers Magazine. Neil and Michael wrap up this episode by reviewing some recent bikepacking races, including the Smoke and Fire 400, Alleghany Mountain Loop, Coconino Stage Bikepack, Trans North California, and the Cross Florida Individual Time Trail.
