@bruce good point. Iāve bikepacked from home to single speed races in Belgium and Scotland. Bikepacked to races in Arizona too. Keeping it simple is a good move. Minimise mechanical risk. Enjoy the ride. Donāt over complicate things. Iām totally onboard with this ethos.
However, in this case, after almost zero riding last year my options were no bikepacking or Ebikepacking. I will hopefully be 100 miles fit in a month or two.
Not everyone is young and fit. E-bikes really are breaking down boundaries, extending peoples cycling life in terms of years and mileage⦠and also a massive growth area in the industry. I am not aware of anyone doing the Dorset Dirt Dash 100 route on an ebike⦠hey. letās find out if itās doable. Learn a few ebike techniques and strategies⦠share it with the Singletrackers.
You are right simple is better. But ebiking is better than no biking.
