We discuss a listener question about how to go about training for bike packing (and should you?). Topics covered include the demands on gear, experience, camping and the physical demands you might address during different phases of the year. We mention our Training Plan in the Training Peaks Store for bike packing specific build (2-3 months out) and the off-road Base plan for 3+months out.
