Hi! I’m Kieran Chet, a lifelong adventurer, bikepacking enthusiast, and storyteller based in the Pacific Northwest. Ever since I got my first gravel bike, I’ve been hooked on the thrill of exploring remote trails, quiet forest roads, and high desert landscapes — all powered by my own two wheels.
Why Bikepacking?
For me, bikepacking isn’t just about covering miles. It’s about slowing down enough to notice the little details — the way sunlight hits the sagebrush at dawn, the quiet hum of a forest trail, or the friendly nod from a stranger at a small-town café. It’s about the sense of freedom, the challenge, and the stories that emerge when you leave the beaten path behind.
