Grand Canyon, Arizona
Biography
Kinetik rider, Janna Radarian loves human powered travel! Janna started bikepacking in 2018 and realized that it combined her love for cycling and also getting into remote places that cars cannot take you. She prefers dirt and gravel bikepacking routes. Her recent move to the Grand Canyon National Park has opened even more doors for outdoor adventuring! On the weekends, you can find Janna on her Kinetik searching out remote forest roads of Grand Canyon National Park and the Kaibab National Forest. She spent a large portion of this summer bikepacking an extensive unpaved/paved loop through the Canadian Rockies.
My favorite part of cycling is hill climbing; it mentally and physically pushes me beyond what I perceive as my limits. When I reach the top, the amount of success I feel drives me to the next mountain. Bikepacking has expanded my limits – it is the hardest sport I have ever taken on, and I love the beauty that I find while challenging myself.
