How Kurt Refsnider Went from Geology to Pro Bikepacking | AJ Podcast 025

The Adventure Journal Podcast

Kurt Refsnider had the dream gig -- Geology professor at Prescott College, in Prescott, Arizona, near tons of great riding. But as bikepacking took more and more of his headspace, he realized his real dream gig was founding Bikepacking Roots, an organization dedicated to getting folks from all walks of life out there and having fun. We talked with Refsnider about the rise of bikepacking, how to get into it, and some of the most insane riding he's done.
