- "Do you want to go on a trip of a lifetime?
That was the title of the e-mail forwarded to me one morning from Stephanie, a product manager I work closely with at Specialized.
Define ‘a trip of a lifetime’. This woman served in the Peace Corps when I was playing collegiate tennis and growing mutated DNA strains in petri dishes. Yes, there was a life before bikes.
But ever since I met the bicycle, I have done my fair share of exploring and pushing my limits. From racing around the world at the highest levels to conquering terrain and distances I didn’t know were possible.
But a trip of a lifetime? Tell me more.
The answer: bikepacking in Kyrgyzstan."
Alison Tetrick is one of the most accomplished gravel cyclists in the world, but joining our trip to Kyrgyzstan to ride the Silk Road brought a new perspective to her cycling.
In the first companion piece to our Roadtripping the Silk Road piece, Tetrick shares the story of her first bikepacking experience and a very personal journey along the historic trade route.

Those spectacular images, showing the mountains in the background, will last forever. Good for you.

It would be useful if you could list your gear, because either you use some super lightweight secret NASA gear or I have serious doubts what you manage to pack (unless you risked and simply took spare tube). From the video I only caught (probably) Camelbak Chase Bike Vest 50 oz.
Ok so Alison is not using power saddle?
