In 2024, Claudia Bastien set out on a solo, unsupported bikepacking journey from the Canadian Rockies to the border of Mexico. Nearly 5,000 kilometers of remote gravel roads, small-town encounters, mechanical failures, and moments of quiet wonder.
“Home on the Gravel Road” is a raw and reflective story about what happens when you leave behind comfort, certainty, and routine, and choose to live from the saddle instead. For months, the road was home. A tent was enough. Meals were whatever she could carry. And the days were long, slow, and often brutally honest.
