Podcast: Karlos Bernart - Bike Packing Revisited

Published on August 22, 2025

In this revisited episode Mason visits with Karlos Bernart about his passion for touring by bike and how that grew from the necessity to learn the skills needed to complete the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. Filled with the desire to create training routes in his local area of Florida, he discovered a talent for connecting green spaces and reviving old pathways and started inviting folks to join his crazy adventures…and they came willingly.

Over 15 years later, Karlos is known as the best bikepacking route builder in Florida and is responsible for getting hundreds of people per year to experience the Florida Wildlife Corridor, many for the first time. You can learn more about Karlos and his Florida-focused routes and guided trips at singletracksamurai.com, on Facebook, and on Instagram @singletracksamurai.
