Travel stories & routes
Motorcycle trips, day rides and mountain passes I've ridden myself: with GPX tracks, highlights along the way, and the parts you won't find on a map.

At BikingWithC is where the ride begins. Ready to go?

Welcome to BikingWithC, nice to meet you! I’m Cara, content creator and graphic designer with a huge passion for motorcycling. As a kid I was always riding on the back of my dad’s motorcycle. I watched my parents take long rides together and thought: “I want to do that too one day.” Years later I got my own license, and that’s when the real adventure began.
My first solo ride felt like coming home, but also a little like getting lost...
What did I miss? Someone who understands what it’s like to ride alone. Someone to ask: Is this normal? Do you feel that too?
BikingWithC grew out of that feeling. I want to be that person for others, and to create a place where you’re free to ask, doubt, and just be on the road at your own pace.
Three pillars that everything here is built on, from the first route write-up to the last packing tip.
Motorcycle trips, day rides and mountain passes I've ridden myself: with GPX tracks, highlights along the way, and the parts you won't find on a map.
Packing lists, gear and planning, all tested on my own rides. So you can set off with more confidence and less stress.
A growing collection of answers to the questions I had myself when I started: from your first mountain pass to your first solo ride.
Riding solo doesn't mean
you're on your own.
BikingWithC is all about discovery: not just the world, but yourself on two wheels. Here you’ll find stories about planning my first rides, what I pack for trips, and how it feels to be out there solo.

The routes section of BikingWithC is live: mountain passes with free GPX tracks, elevation profiles, and photos from rides I've actually done myself.

Years on the motorcycle taught me more than any riding lesson: about falling, gear, pace, and why I bought my first bike on looks alone.
