bikepacking for beginners Live presentation-Jan 25, 2025

Bike Packing, Bike Touring, and gravel Riding are becoming increasingly popular as more safe locations to ride and tour are opened up due to accessibility to backcountry roads.

If you are BIKEPACKING CURIOUS, I encourage you to attend my January 25 LIVE presentation.

You see last year I jumped into BIke Packing for the first time after I completed the UNBOUND GRAVEL XL 350mile/560km Gravel race in 35hrs, located in Emporia Kansas, during the month of June.
Following that event I wondered WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE to bike the same distance at a more leisurley pace, over a couple of days and try out this Bike Packing thing. In August, I pulled together the gear I had at home, mapped out a route and went for it.

My presentation will cover both events, it will be a Show & Tell formate covering the gear I used and my bike.

Date: Saturday, January 25
Time: 6:30pm TBD

I have been following her home routine for the last 4 weeks and I find her program very well formulated and easy to follow. I am new to the 50 sec sets with 10 sec rest and find it more enjoyable and effective. She takes the time to go through all of her routine and describes each very well. She includes proper form, breathing and stretching. Considering we are all doing this from our homes, her routines gives enough to be able to modify and still get the benefit of a great workout to start your day. Best of all it is FREE and full of important content. Highly recommend!

Sylvie D'Aoust is great to deal with she really knows her stuff. Which is one of the reasons I chose to deal with her for food and training. Whenever I'm trying to learn something or better myself my theory is to try and find out who is the best in the field and learn from them because even if I can only be 10% as good as the instructor then I will be better off learning from the best. If you want to get in better shape, or just start feeling better or having more energy in general, I highly recommend you give her a shout!

I took a couple of private cycling lessons with Sylvie and it made a big difference in my cycling. As a beginner cyclist, her knowlegable approach really helped me to push my limits. She helped me gain confidence on the bike, learn new techniques and left me with lots of drills I can continue to do on my own. I would highly recommended Sylvie for anyone looking to do improve their cycling skills!
