XWA isn’t hard enough, so Ethan Washam was riding a single-speed. Ethan has previous single-speed bikepacking experience, including a 2019 XWA attempt.
Thanks to John Stamstad for his support and expertise.

On day three of the 2025 Cross Washington bikepacking event, bikepacking legend John Stamstad and I chatted with affable Tom Colby east of Snoqualmie Pass. Tom has previous bikepacking experience, but this was his first XWA.
