Our annual Board of Directors retreat

11/29/2019

In mid-November, the Bikepacking Roots Board of Directors met in Colorado for a three-day retreat to wrap up a year-long strategic planning process. This group of volunteers from all across the United States is dedicated to determining how our organization can best support the growing bikepacking community and ensuring that we use our resources as effectively and efficiently as possible. We'll be sharing more about our vision for 2020 and beyond, but a few of the highlights include

  • 10,000 miles of professionally developed new routes - singletrack, gravel, in different regions around the country, and with  unique route visions and concepts
  • Broadening our advocacy reach and capacity to steadily become a stronger and more active voice in advocating for the needs of bikepackers when it comes to public lands, access, and conservation
  • Further engaging and involving the community through increased volunteer opportunities, expanding our route Scouts program, revamping our Regional Advisor program, and more!

And after wrapping up a year-long strategic planning process, Board President Kaitlyn Boyle is transitioning into a programming position within the organization. Andy Williamson, a long-time proponent of outdoor recreation access, conservation, and mountain bike advocacy, is taking the helm of the Board, and we also welcome Lizzy Scully, Nan Pugh, and Tom Flynn into leadership roles on the Board.
