Cole and Steven recount their first European bikepacking expedition on the “Ride to the Sea” route from Ljubljana to Grado. Capturing the trip on film, the two are excited to share their experience.

A year an a half ago, I stumbled on a single-track network in Southeast D.C.. Seemingly undiscovered and untouched by other cyclists in the area, and safe from the hordes of Northwest dog walkers and Sunday hikers that DO NOT like to share trails, this route has become a staple. Mixed surface rides like this are what we are all about.
