I just realized that I skipped a post about our ride around 20 Mule Team Canyon and out to Hole in the Wall when we were in Death Valley. Oops. 20 Mule Team Canyon For many people, nothing symbolizes...
Chloride Ride
Death Valley is full of ghost towns and mines. We’ve seen a lot of them over our travels through here and this was a repeat from 2019. We parked off the highway and rode mountain bikes up and back...

Ridgecrest Mountain Biking
For being kind of remote, the trails at Rademacher Hills in Ridgecrest are fantastic. It’s pretty much just a locals thing and we found excellent riding that isn’t even on Trailforks. We’ve ridden here once before and it was...
