The Always Answer: Ride
“Why?” Who cares why! Not everything needs explaining. Not everything needs reasons. Sometimes a thing is just worth doing. And I’ve made the choice that bikepacking is one of those things.
I Have Seen the Future
I want to ride my bike across towering mountain ranges and endless, empty deserts. I want to follow rutted dirt roads through thick pine forests until they become smooth dirt roads that glide across wavy farm land. I want to dodge thunder storms and eat greasy food at barely-there diners in towns with populations that could all fit on a school bus. I want to ride my bike from dark to dark.
The 2014 Breck Epic
What’s the best bike race you’ve ever done? Now do it every day for a week. That’s the Breck Epic.
Legs Don’t Lie
Loose gravel covered the washboard filled road. Unchecked sunshine baked the surface. A small placard on the side of the road read “1 mile to KOM” The grade steepened. My heart weakened.
High Country Summer
Summer has officially arrived in the mountains. Finally! And with it, long rides on long trails.
