Sometimes trail names make sense and other times I think the creator just picked a name they liked. In this case, it was named appropriately. We mountain biked a fun loop in Dolores, Colorado that included a trail named...
Chicken Creek Loop
Seeking to escape the heat, we headed up a little higher above Mancos, CO to ride in the Chicken Creek area. It’s nice because there is a lot of shade from the big pines and aspens. Plus, the cool...
Twin Buttes Ride
Wow, time is flying. We haven’t done a post in forever. Never fear, we’ve been busy riding and hiking and I’m even swimming at a local pool! There were a couple days in August where we got drifting smoke...

McPhee Overlook Loop Ride

The Aquaduct trail network in Mancos, CO isn’t very big but it’s a fun and nontechnical ride that you can do in under two hours, or double up for a longer ride. This is a new network as of...
Phil’s World Ride
Phil’s World is a magnificent trail network in Cortez, Colorado! We have ridden here quite a few times and it’s always fun. I like that there are different trailheads to start from and this time we started from Cash...
