This week we sat down with Meaghan Hackinen, the women's winner of this year's Tour Divide. Meaghan is a bikepacker and writer whose two-wheeled adventures have taken her from Haida Gwaii to Mexico’s high plateaus, across Canada and the United States, and from North Cape to Tarifa along some of Europe’s highest paved roads. She is a two time ultra-cycling world champion and with wins in some of the hardest bikepacking races on the planet, including the Tour Divide (2024 and 2026) and Silk Road Mountain Race (2025), regularly finishing in the top ten overall. Meaghan's debut travel memoir, South Away: The Pacific Coast on Two Wheels (NeWest Press, 2019) was a finalist for two Canadian book awards; her follow up, Shifting Gears: Coast to Coast on the Trans Am Bike Race, charts her entry into self-supported ultra-racing. You can find her exploring back roads in British Columbia’s beautiful Okanagan Valley or on Instagram at @meaghanhackinen.
