Suncoaster Overnighter - Bikepacking the Sunshine Coast

Спорт

It wasn't the biggest ride of my life by any means, but it looked like the last chance of the year before the winter weather truly descended, and new restrictions came into effect, so I grabbed my bike and went out for an overnight bikepacking ride on the Sunshine Coast. The morning greeted me with frost and, with three pairs of socks still not feeling like enough, I pedalled back to the ferry and the warmth of home, happy to have at least spent a little time in nature this week.
The 'Suncoaster' is an incredible little gravel/MTB route that begs to be extended when the daylight hours are at least a little longer (sunset at 4:30 in the afternoon is a bit of a mileage killer!). I can't wait to come back in the spring and do the extended version of this route, possibly without luggage. (You can find my ride on my komoot profile).
Kit - Shand Stooshie, with 650b Hunt wheels, Shimano GTX, Sendero tubeless tyres, Apidura Expedition bags, Veloccio apparel, SunGod sunnies.

    All those Maple leaves-the Sunshine Coast has to be in Canada. Autumn is beautiful but spring is my favourite-when the trees come back to life.

    You've done it again. Amazing ride. Really like the early morning sunlight shafts through the trees. Great choice of uplifting music reminding the viewer that the freedom to explore will return one day.

    I think my hiking buddy, who've I haven't been hiking with in ages, has that MSR tent. It must be pretty good cause he's quite picky. Amazing stuff.

    Always great to see a new video from you! I might like my home comforts too much to go bike packing 😂 however your videos always provide motivation to get out there and enjoy the Great Outdoors 🍁👍

    That looks like one cool ride. I am planning on going on a two-day bike packing trip here in Portugal in December myself but it looks like new restrictions might not allow me to venture out. I guess it's a good excuse to upgrade my drivetrain and start planning routes for when we can roam again. Keep those pedals turning, Jenny!

    Beautiful angles, makes me miss the SC so much!! My dog Zora and I did the Suncoaster last year as part of our 60 day gulf coast & islands bikepacking loop. If you're looking for any more routes or destinations in that area let me know! I have a series of videos on the trip too, if you're interested.
