# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Mont Winter Solstice Bikepacking Ride
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Get your wooly tights ready, because on the shortest day of the lunar year, when the earth’s southern pole reach its maximum tilt away from the sun, Mont is organising its first social bike packing ride. 

Over Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st of June, we invite riders to join us as we ride out of Canberra and into the bush. The plan is to start in Canberra, at the Mont Shop, and ride out to Blue Range Hut Campground. Over approximately 55km, you will see the best of Canberra, before heading into the wilderness for the night. A chance to stargaze under the clear winter skies while sitting around a campfire awaits before we ride back into Canberra the next morning. 

Following on from the great winter solstice rides she’s organised in the past few years, Steph Skinner (Canberra gravel riding heavyweight) will be giving a talk on one of her recent multi-week bike packing trips in the evening, and the legends at Omafiets Bicycle Shop will be around for some mechanical expertise.

This ride is a chance to test out bike packing for the first time, spend a weekend with your riding crew, or meet up with the rest of the Canberra bikepacking community. It is a fully self-supported event, meaning we will provide a suggested route, and have booked out the campground, but you will need to bring everything you require to spend a weekend out in the bush, including food, camping equipment, and clothing (a gear list will be provided). You will also be responsible for your own safety.
