In this episode I’m joined by Noelle Battle, Executive Director of Bikepacking Roots, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting, advancing, and diversifying the bikepacking community, the access to lands for bikepacking, and conservation of the places we ride.

I was just recently named one of the board members of Bikepacking Roots, and I wanted to take some time to bring more attention to this amazing organization. We are in the middle of our summer fundraising campaign and in order to help increase awareness of this effort and ask for your support, I thought it was only right to invite Noelle on to talk with me.

Noelle and I discuss her background a bit to learn more about why she rides and how she got involved in bikepacking. How that led to her becoming the Executive Director of Bikepacking Roots. We also learn more about the organization, how it was founded and why, plus what the mission of the organization is all about. We also talk about the fundraiser, what it supports, and how you can win some really cool prizes.
