Mike Bybee never thinks small. His latest odyssey took him from his native Arizona north to Canada, taking in the Grand Canyon, Park City, Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Forest, Idaho, Montana and Washington along the way, 1,590 miles in total. His Sola SL and custom rack carried him and all his gear the whole way.
Mike sometimes calls himself a photographer and sometimes a 7ger and sometimes a bike-packer, but what he really is, is an adventurer, a description that serves the other things he likes to do well. Other bike-packers listen to what he has to say, mostly because they recognize his passion and the size of his imagination. We are deeply grateful that he chooses to ride a Seven, because we know he will test our bike to its limits…and send us great pictures of it in action.
Here are just a few of his fine photos from this trip. Get over to his TrailChat Blog for the words and even more photos.
This was a really hard day – climbing up to 7,630 feet.”
