Ep.1 | The Roslyn Ramble

In this episode, The Klunkpackers load up their klunkers and head out from North Bend, Washington on a three-day two-night bikepacking adventure along the Palouse to Cascades Trail. The trail takes them up into the Cascades where they veer off and make their way toward the town of Roslyn. Jesse, Ryan, Dan, and Aaron set out on the 130 mile out-and-back adventure, but will all four of them finish the ride?

About the series: The Klunkpackers follows a group of friends as they set out on bikepacking adventures on their loaded-up one-speed State Bicycle Co. Klunkers. Every episode features a different adventure, and every adventure is an approachable, one to three night outing. They go over things like routes, gear choices, and camp set-ups, but the primary goal is to find pretty places, with fun people, on one-speed klunkers that are a blast to ride. And who cares if they have to push their bikes up a few hills!
