NEER Rules
(to get your special t-shirt)
Bikepacking is defined per Kurt’s definition - see his challenge website
Post a photo, story, or something publicly somewhere and add #neergoesfar & tag us @neergoesfar on your post (if you’re posting somewhere other than Instagram, please email connect@newenglandexpeditionriders.com to draw our attention to it) - otherwise, we might miss it and you won’t get credit!
You must be a NEER member throughout the full challenge to be eligible.
You must bikepack once per month starting either April or May 2026 and bikepack each month of the challenge, finishing up either March or April 2027 (12 total bikepacking trips minimum with wiggle as to the month you start and the month you end).
If you want to participate in Kurt’s challenge, that’s great! We support this whole heartedly! Just be sure to see his rules in order to be eligible for the prizes he’s giving out! See his challenge website and rules as to how to participate in his challenge too!
We’re piggybacking on Kurt Refsnider’s Bikepack Every Month Challenge!
This is the kind of challenge that will help you become a better bikepacker and it’ll help a lot of you get into bikepacking! We saw Kurt Refsnider start it and it’s too good not to join in on. See the details of the rules to participate in the challenge as he’s setting it out there to all: https://ultramtb.net/bikepack-every-month/
We are adding an extra goodie for everyone who participates who is a NEER member and this one isn’t a raffle: if you bikepack once a month for the year, we’re printing you a REALLY cool t-shirt to commemorate your bikepacking prowess!
Note: t-shirt design is not what’s shown in the photo. It’ll be super cool and award your accomplishment!!
