Want a BT bikepacking experience but with a bit less of the tough stuff? The BT (Less) Express is a pared-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 rowdier riding conditions, or for anyone with less time to complete the full route.
You can review the BT Express route for a general description of this route as well.

You are entirely responsible for your safety and decisions that are made, including accommodation and necessary detours. It is advised to study the route map and make note of your supply options as well as some possible detours (these are marked with a Control Point symbol). If you are not comfortable riding a section of the route take any necessary alternatives. Planning and due diligence is imperative as is riding within your means. People "racing" the route do so at their own risk.
