BT 700 Lite
Want a BT bikepacking experience but with a bit less of the tough stuff? The 550 kilometre BT 700 Light is a paired-down version of the mother route. You still get to experience the same great terrain but with less distance, less elevation gain, and fewer sections of testy singletrack. It's much closer to a 'touring' route than a rugged bikepacking route. A good route option for less experienced bikepackers, those with bike set-ups that are less conducive to dealing with more rowdy riding conditions, or for anyone with less time to complete the full route.
