After finding his niche talent in the world of ultra-distance self-supported racing, Josh Ibbett won his first major event in 2015, the Transcontinental Race. But on May 9th Josh changed his focus from the finish line to the journey itself. He left his 2-year job at Hunt Wheels and began a 12-month around-the-world bikepacking trip. After a couple weeks on the road Josh put together this detailed video to walk through every last piece his kit, bag for bag. Watch it here or read the detailed pack list below. In addition, you can follow Josh on Instagram for the latest trip updates at @joshibbett. Plus, check the Rapha blog where he’ll be posting regularly as well.
