Canmore, Canada – John Freeman and his six-year-old dog Mira are driving south to finish their trip through Mexico then onto South America. The two are set to conquer the North and South American leg of their goal to bikepack in seven continents.
“In a couple of days I’ll be at the Mexican border and I’ll continue riding down to Chihuahua and then over into the Copper Canyons,” said Freeman.
Freeman rides a custom-made titanium bicycle with a frame that has been lengthened to accommodate a large basket on the back to carry Mira.
Bikepacking is a combination of bike touring and backpacking and it’s been Freeman’s passion for the past eight years. They’re the first dogpacking duo to ever race the Tour Divide, and in this interview, we talk about their experience.
