Bikepacking races are surging in popularity, so much so that they’ve even broken into WorldTour pro cycling with Rapha and EF Education First’s Alternative Racing Calendar. We chatted to The Racing Collective, a group of competitive bikepackers behind the GBDURO route and many other UK-based challenges, as well as current pro cyclist and first finisher of the 2019 route, Lachlan Morton.
