Re: [RBW] Bikepacking with kids
+1 on spending some time without the camping gear on the bikes. One option might be to get to the camp site early in the day, set up camp, then go for a loop ride in the afternoon.

Re: [RBW] Bikepacking with kids
Me as well Patrick. My eldest daughter will be 11 in August. My daughter's (my younger daughter will be 8 in August) have been a wonder to me since they were born. We have progressed to riding the local trails as a family and with the pleasure they seem to have in riding together, I have no idea where this adventure will lead, but I will forever be grateful for the opportunity. Keep us posted on your adventure.

Happy to share our experience. She's both excited and apprehensive, so she's already wiser than I am. Grin.

Re: [RBW] Bikepacking with kids
One suggestion: if you find a nice place to camp, don't be afraid to stay there. Instead, take a day ride or two and go back to base camp. Sometimes it's nice not having to pack up and go some place. It'll also give her time for her art and/or writing. Happy camping, Patrick. (We're off for car camping later this weekend. We'll go to the swimming hole, take a hike, go to the playground, or probably spend a lot of time picking up sticks and rocks.)

Re: [RBW] Bikepacking with kids
Thanks, Shoji. That's how we've camped with them so far, and is definately an option for her on this mini-tour. It's a greate way for side journeys to have a base camp for a day or two of exploring.
