In this episode, I chat with Jessica Alexander about bikepacking!

Jessica Alexander is an active Xennial woman from Austin, TX who has competed over ten years in triathlon (including 2 Ironmans!), road cycling races and-most recently-cyclocross and gravel. She claims that she does bike messenger and delivery work for "fun and exercise" and tries to volunteer with children's bike programs at least two times a month. She is an active member of Ruckus Racing and Team Snacks and has been bikepacking all over the World over the past 3 years; including Switzerland, Belgium, Arkansas and a good majority of Texas!

In this episode, she talks about an upcoming trip in Arkansas, how she got into bikepacking, and gives us lots of tips and tricks for beginners.
