Sweetwater Preserve is a great mountain bike option if you’re up for a couple hours of trail riding. There isn’t a lot out there, but if you get creative you can put connect all the trails and get a decent ride in. Be warned though, this is pretty popular with hikers so depending when you …
I think this Ridgeline Trail ride is in the top 3 of my favorite Tucson rides. It’s a bit more remote then a lot of the trails around town so we usually don’t see anyone when we’re out here. What I like about this loop is that it’s classic desert riding with lots of big …
Wow, it’s been awhile! I kind of slacked off with updating all our goings on this winter. I’ll try to trickle in the updates over the next week. As usual, we moseyed down south for the winter and are in Tucson visiting family. It’s nice because there is space in the yard for our trailer …
Wow, these year end review posts are always so fun. We went a lot of places this past year and saw a lot of new things. It’s a big wide world out there and as we go into year 7 fulltime RV travelling, lets look back at some of the magic of 2024. We visited …
There aren’t a whole lot of ride options in San Diego unless you go east. While visiting family, we popped over to do a ride at Daley Ranch in Escondido, CA. Derek and I rode here back in the last 90’s but it was much smaller and we don’t remember it much. Daley Ranch is …
On our way to visit family in San Diego we had a short stopover to ride by Idylwild, CA. In 2003 and 2004 we raced 24 Hours of Adrenaline bike races in Hurkey Creek as part of a 5 person coed team and won! We reminisced as we rode the old coarse and some add …
We spent some time a couple years ago in Mohave National Preserve but never went to the sand dunes. Several cool hikes and rides occupied our time and you can read about them here. This time, on our migration south we stopped overnight at the Kelso Sand Dunes. The dune field covers 45 square miles and includes …
We had blasting winds the other night that lasted into the morning so we were cooped up in the trailer waiting it out. A little after noon we braved the gusts and went for a short hike by Cedar Pockets a short distance from St. George, Utah. This isn’t a destination hike really, just something …
For our last ride in the St George area we went out to the Bear Poppy Trails. We had not ridden these trails since back in the 90’s and the area has grown. The bear poppy is indigenous to Washington County and the flower can only thrive in specific geological conditions that the St. George area …
On our drive to St. George where we are camping for two weeks, we passed Snow Canyon State Park and made a note to get out there to check it out. There are a multitude of paved bike paths all over the area and we made good use of them. Snow Canyon State Park is …
