J.P. Wanderwheels

When I’m bikepacking, something strange happens…

We're psyched to share our 2026 wanders with you! It's a line-up that spans Michigan, full of amazing views, terrific food, and wondrous adventure! More details at sites.google.com/view/j-p-wan... We'd love to have you join us!

We’ve ridden through frozen fingers, questionable decisions, and “this seemed like a good idea at the time” weather. Now we’re more than ready for dirt roads, warm sun, campfires, and long wandering miles. 🚴🌲 Bikepacking season is almost here. 2026 Wandernouncement April 18.

We got to meet Ryan Van Duzer and enjoy a wander through Dexter thanks to Destination Cyclery. Such a nice guy! And a beautiful day for a ride! Thanks to Marcie and the team at Destination Cyclery for putting this together. #bikepacking #michigan

Shhhh. Don't tell anyone. Wait! What are we saying?! Tell everyone! Together with Lake Orion Bike & Adventure we’re building a bikepacking gear library. If you’ve got gear you’re no longer using, or if you’d like to help us purchase gear for the library, we’d love your support. #binepacking

Shake shake

Plans are in the works! New miles. New stories. New place to wander. 2026 wandernouncement coming April 18. #bikepacking #michigan

Seems fun and with a little planning achievable! Anyone thinking of giving this a go? www.singletracks.com/community/ne...

A lovely day for a ride!

Yet another reason to ❤️ bikes! www.jalopnik.com/2110961/huma...

Hahahaha. Guess we spoke too soon! More winter riding is in the forecast

With all this sunshine and warmer weather it seems as though it's time to wave goodbye to winter riding. Soon we'll be enjoying spring flowers and flowing waters as we wander the trails of Michigan.

Wonderful weekend of wandering

Another fat bike wander. This time through Orion Oaks. The trails were wanderful. But that didn’t stop me from tripoding on a downhill 🤦‍♂️

A nice little fat bike wander through Island Lake recreation area

Having 2 great friends join me for their first bikepacking trip even though it was well outside their comfort zone.

Not just resolutions. Intentions. See you out there in 2026!

Getting ready for a trip so you know what that means? Gotta make sure it’s all gonna fit
