When we last left our heroes (ha!) they were exhausted but well sheltered and fed, having met up with Lee’s wife, Joan. Well fed is a bit of a stretch, I guess, since we had no stove and no food to cook, anyway. We had never really planned on meeting up with Joan in a …. [Continue reading] 
Pictures from our adventures in San Carlos, Mexico. First up, an incredible evening ride exploring the local trails (rode from the hotel room). Sunrise walks on the beach More exploratory riding with Paula brought some interesting discoveries. A seeping spring in the wash. 
I’m in San Carlos, Mexico, where the name of the game is rest and relaxation. After ~5 days out on the bike I was plenty relaxed and ready to dig back into TopoFusion, among other things. But things change and here I am a stone’s throw from the beach. The first thing was that my …. [Continue reading] 
We started where we left off on the last GET exploration: the catwalk outside Glenwood, New Mexico. This time we followed the recommended GET route, which starts above the catwalk, dropping in after the suspension bridge. The Gold Dust Trail started with nicely cut trail and rideable grades. It then contoured, …. [Continue reading] 
A GPS line exists on my copy of TopoFusion. It’s begging to be followed. Actually there are two options there. The northern one is far more adventurous than the southern. It’s a stretch of CDT that very few hikers have even completed. Trail info is sketchy at best, and water is pretty much …. [Continue reading] 
Paula and I have discovered the holy grail of Tucson bike routes (well, for us). Cmno del Cerro is nothing but fear and loathing for any cyclist unfortunate enough to cycle it. Paula does it nearly daily to get to work (at a school). Well, there’s a route through some dirt roads. It’s first signed …. [Continue reading] 
A week ago I hadn’t ridden Green Mtn for over a year. What’s wrong with me? Now I’ve ridden it three times and am gunning for more. Max has an obsession with the trail (and shuttling it). With good reason. Good old fashioned hike-a-bike. 
It’s hard to remember a ride better than this one. Words can’t do it justice. Leviathan. Best bike ever? So light, so comfy, so fun. Molino->Bugs->Green->Guthrie->Green->Bugs->Molino And I’m less tired than after riding only the downhill portion of this ride a few days ago. Energy and strength are not concepts ….

First things first. Please go here (it only takes a second): http://epicrides.com/wor/wor.htm In the lower right there’s a poll for how “technical” a trail you like. If you vote technical the county trail crew will have more justification for building hard trails. All of the new county trails are great, but they are pretty easy …. [Continue reading] |
