What to Expect on Doom
If you’re seeking a raw, self-supported adventure deep in the backcountry, the Doom bikepacking routes deliver in every way—brutal, beautiful, and utterly unforgettable.
Surface types range from hardpack gravel, to abandoned 4×4 roads, to remote and rugged singletrack. In our newest edition, a mountain bike is the only recommendation; the days of gravel bikes and underbiking are now gone – we’ve upped the difficulty even more.

When does it take place?
Doom takes place on April 1, 2026. That puts it in spring, when weather can still be unpredictable, so a flexible kit is worth packing.
What surface is it?
Surface-wise, expect off-road throughout Doom — 2.2-2.4" Tubeless tires are a safe bet.
