Ride. Root. Restore.
Looking for your next adventure with slow travel by bike and a chance to fully reset?
Reconnect with nature, challenge your body, and reset your mind with our fully guided 3-day bikepacking and wellness escape. A chance to take a proper break from modern life. Space to just be.
Join Gabrielle (backtothewoods) and Joe (founder of Roam bikepacking) for a weekend of true adventure and the space to properly slow down and just be.
This trip is designed for like minded women looking for a physical challenge, and ready to reconnect with themselves, to nature, and to each other.
Day 1
Pack light and go on a bikepacking adventure through stunning Welsh river valleys. Wild swims along the way. Every detail taken care of.
Day 2
Spend a day to restore with a morning mindful mat Pilates class, then immerse yourself with nature connection in the woods, and after lunch a slow, embodied, restorative yoga flow.
Day 3
Back on the saddle. More nature. More wilderness. Finish back where you began. Same place, same you: back to your true sense of self. Your nervous system feeling revitalised. New connections made.
