Who? What?
Our Story…… sorta.…
We are a casual, but passionate group of Bike-Travel nerds who love nothing more than getting outside on our bikes. We carry too much stuff, lie about our accomplishments, and like to stop and eat whenever we can.
We think that the magic of traveling by bike should be savored, shared with friends and family, and used as a tool to learn and grow. The journey truly is the reward.
The Pan-Ram was scouted, ridden, crashed upon, and delighted in, by Eric, Paula, Tommy, and Felix, who for years, have been trying to piece together a route that showcases the flavor of this special region.

Eric just wants to help get people out on bikes however he can. Bikepacking, Mountain Biking, and Touring are his jam, He can usually be found mid-way up a climb sitting in the shade eating junk food, and his melodious snoring is sure to delight anyone camping next to him.

Paula is a total Badass, all around excellent human, and one of the best riding buddies anyone could ask for. She has suffered for this route, and has the scars and broken bones to prove it. Her passions include crashing, crashing some more, and making the best fires. Paula can be found on her beloved Wednesday, frolicking around the Pa
Paula is a total Badass, all around excellent human, and one of the best riding buddies anyone could ask for. She has suffered for this route, and has the scars and broken bones to prove it. Her passions include crashing, crashing some more, and making the best fires. Paula can be found on her beloved Wednesday, frolicking around the Pacific Northwest, Baja, or here in Idaho. Paula is always up for an adventure, and if you spot her in the wild, ask her about her legendary Bushwhacking skills.

Tommy (AKA TK) can be found wherever his blue dot tends to be. Sometimes Mexico, sometimes Oregon, but always riding something made out of Titanium, and always chock-full of passionate stories of his travels by bike. Riding with TK is truly a joy, and it’s the lucky person who can keep up with him long enough to hear some of his stories.

Felix is an up-and-coming Bikepacker who’s got more passion and raw talent than anyone I’ve ever ridden with. Felix can be found crushing gravel on his Fat Bike, or teabagging the competition in his gaming chair. Keep your eyes open for this kid, because he will be coming for those KOM’s.
