Your donation provides bicycles that change lives.

We believe in the Power of Bicycles and their ability to change the world. Bicycles are freedom machines that have changed our lives for the better and we want to help others have the same opportunity.

We will be fundraising for World Bicycle Relief as we traverse all 14,300 km of the Great Northern Bikepacking Route from May 2024 until the end of September with a goal of raising $100,000. 

Please consider supporting our fundraising efforts to help mobilize individuals in rural developing countries! Just $205 helps put a brand new bike in the field and forever changes the trajectory of an individual's life.

Spread the word by sharing this page with others who may want to donate to help individuals challenged by distance. 

Thank you for your support. You can follow our adventure on instagram @trip.longer or on TrackLeaders at https://trackleaders.com/greatnorthernbikepackf.php

Happy Trails!

Well done to you both. You’re almost there. Glad you’re enjoying the Cabot Trail. We are blessed to have it in our back yard . I’ve cycled it twice and my husband and a group of friends cycle it every year in support of Hope House ( a shelter for women on Cape Breton) 2024 was their 25 yr plus yr ! But we continue down the coast to the Englishtown ferry.So Interested to see where that trail takes you on the backroads to Baddeck. We hope you reach your goal for bike relief… When you get to North Sydney there is a lovely restaurant called the Black Spoon .And across the road is an outdoor store. It’s very close to the ferry. Heads up … They only take cash at the BlackSpoon 😊 . The nearest bike store ( Frameworks) is in Sydney so if you need anything bike wise feel free to give me a call/text I can pick it up for you if you call them . Otherwise continue this amazing journey and adventure with the wind behind you, good weather and health. It’s been a joy following you. 902 5677197 xxx J

Longest bikepacking trip I've done is a 6 day / 5 nighter. Full-time employment really gets in the way of bikepacking dreams! But I thank you for the window into your amazing ride and the inspiration to Trip Longer!

Just discovered Trip Longer and I think you are so cool. Just love the lifestyle you’ve adopted. I’ve bike toured in 4 provinces, 14 countries and 3 mountain ranges, and lots of commuting too, but a bit soft these days! Good luck with your adventures. Glad to be supporting bikes for others too!
