The weeds are green and the waves are big. Road this weekend and dirt today.
I’m tempted to come back to San Diego and hit you up for a road ride….
I guess I probably need a road bike.
Do it!!! I have the gravel bike you can use, size 56... Basically a road bike with bigger tires.
Well, that makes things easy. And I’ve already kind of done your road areas already during Xmas 2024 when I was in Encinitas riding road.
{Calendar check ensuing}
First time in Alabama, 1st time riding in Alabama, 1st ride of the season! Great stuff!
Awesome Rob! Watch out for the dragon with matches! 
Saw your picture of Seaside Reef a while back.
LMK on dates and we should definitely ride.
Yeah. I love this trail but that elevation gain is pretty brutal, especially that last climb when you bust out of the pile of rocks.Legit elevation for the mileage.
Nice weather so switched it up a bit and hit a new trail to keep it interesting. One of my front range fav's I have seen Ritchey Rude bomb a few times. I used to think I was good until I saw him hit a few lines in the technical rocks sections.
Thought I was in the desert for a minute, a certain elevation on the trail had blooming prickly pears, don't see that often here. Saw some monster wild turkeys kackling at me and almost hit a deer.

25 miles yesterday, 18 on dirt. I got about 10 minutes of flow state that would put fentanyl out of business if I could put it in a capsule people could swallow.
God, I love bikes, I'm really going to love the motor bike if the China tariffs don't shiat can that, its paid for, now I wait.... Until then, who needs church when you have a bike and single track...
Another quick Devils ride in today before the next storm. I'm on the western slope for a Aspen work trip Sunday if anyone here has a epic trail they can suggest. something with vertical and rocks preferred
The weather may push me more to Grand junction, don't see Moab in the cards.

Went to the city to ride bikes with friends…. Good times….
Doh! Needed a snorkle for this “ride” forgot to stop tracking……
ASHEVILLE, NC looking for info. etc.....
I'll be travelling to Asheville, NC area on Monday 4-21-2025 staying a night or 2 not neccesarily in the same place....Not in a Landcruiser
staying in my van (MEH just another Sprinter
) looking for info/recco's on Mtn biking (no need to rent bike), places to park overnight, opinions on breweries, food, live music....
Anyone want to ride? Monday later in the day, Tuesday, maybe Wednesday?

Wish I could make it out there, but no can do. From Asheville, pick a direction - trails everywhere. One place that always comes up is Dupont State Forest.ASHVILLE, NC looking for info. etc.....

I haven't been out there since Helene ravaged the area, so no idea what's open/exists any longer. All of the breweries are fantastic, try them all! The Sierra Nevada brewery south of town is what I call the Biltmore of Breweries - it is an awesome place, great food, plenty going on, it's really something to see. My favorite brewery is Oskar Blues in Brevard, though. Burial in Asheville would be #2.
If you're coming in on I-40, expect delays as it is 1 lane each direction west of Asheville. Have a blast!

I am +2 hours from the coast of NC, yet Garmin thinks I should have used a snorkel on yesterday's ride:
Nice work! I've got to get a few in this year myself. Been too long.

You guys/gals on dirt are an inspiration! I think miles on dirt are the equivalent of 2X or more on pavement.
Or check with Berm Peak. I think he just sold his place out there but the guy knows all the trails.
So . . . tomorrow's metric.
Can I tell you how much I hate that hill on the north end of the route, the road going up by Hill Air Force Base?
Especially in the spring when I don't have the miles under me yet due to the changing weather this year (it snowed yesterday/last night).
Oh well, we'll see how it goes.
Enjoy your rides tomorrow.

The weather is warming up here and I’m jealous of y’all putting in some miles. I hurt my back a few weeks ago and haven’t been able to do much of anything, let alone ride. I have however been giving my Trek a bit of a rebirth. Can’t wait to put it through it’s paces. In the meantime I’ll live vicariously through this thread.
