John and Mira have been inspiring viewers for years with their intrepid and heartwarming dogpacking adventures around the Americas. Their loaded rides together have included journeys around Canada, Central and South America, the Tour Divide, the Oregon Timber Trail, the Baja Divide, the Trans-Mexico Norte, and countless others. Shot during a little bikepacking getaway in the mountains beyond Calgary, John’s latest video, Why I Ride, offers a behind-the-scenes look at their unshakeable bond and the reasons behind their rides together. It’s a reflection on movement, connection, and being fully present.

We’ve loved following John and Mira these past five years, especially as a team of dog lovers. The way John’s care and concern for Mira’s well-being have always guided their adventures is heartening, and it has sometimes meant making tough decisions to abandon their pursuits, including this year’s Tour Divide. We’re confident that they’ll be back on some big adventures soon, however, and we look forward to sharing more from future rides.
