In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures podcast, I have a chance to speak with Claire Pomykala. When I first came across Claire's journey into bike touring, what really stood out for me is that it all happened so quickly. With her first tour quite literally straight out of college, to then embarking on a pretty epic journey across a big chunk of Europe, Claire has really dove headfirst into Bike Touring and its many facets.. After a stint of working the 9 to 5, Claire decided to drop it all and cycle across the USA and is now what she calls FUN-employed. Tune in to this episode to learn more about bike touring and Claire's upcoming adventures.
