Just up the road from downtown Silver City is a great riding and hiking area I call Walnut Creek. We road a big loop last time we were in the area and this time I hiked while Derek rode a smaller loop. His ride was 14 miles with 1534′ of climbing. I hike the Angel …
Not every ride plan works. This time Derek had created a loop that ended up not working. BUT, that’s how life goes so you pivot. The ride started out on Knights Bridge dirt/sand road that isn’t far from where we are boondocking. The road is a bit rough but on a mountain bike it was …
The United States Army established Fort Bayard as an installation offering protection for miners and settlers in 1866. It’s now deserted and a trail system winds around the area. We rode here a couple years ago and Derek rode here again while I hiked. The ride was 17.5 miles with 1455′ of climbing. The trails …
After spending winter in Arizona, we are now in Silver City, NM. We came through here a couple years ago and really liked the forest and recreational opportunities. Boondocking outside town at around 6000′ we are still getting some chilly nights but at least it isn’t snowing/raining/tornadoing like other parts of the country. The thing …
The newly built Sierra Vista Trail in Patagonia replaces a crappy road section that connected the Arizona Trail. It’s called that on Trailforks but I just think of it as an extension of the Temporal Gulch section that Derek rode the other day. This time, starting from the same Casa Blanca Trailhead, the ride was …
A new section of the Arizona Trail! If you’ve been following our blog over the years you have seen all our posts about the Arizona Trail. While camping for a couple weeks down by Sonoita, it was perfect to have this new section by Patagonia open. After years of hard work and determination, the Arizona …
Since 2019 when we left Bend and went full time traveling in our rv, we have spent each winter in AZ to stay warm. Once again, here we are in Tucson for a few months visiting family, riding bikes, and staying warm. We have experienced some cold nights, but nothing our Outdoors RV can’t handle …
We originally wanted to ride our gravel bikes up to Cerro Gordo, an old ghost town in the area. However, the giant rainstorms and flooding last month washed out parts of the road and it was closed for maintenance. So instead we rode our bikes around Alabama Hills to check out the interesting geology and …
Happy Autumn! You’ve probably seen me post about our rides here before. Spence Mtn is one of the premier mountain biking spots in the area. Klamath Falls is lucky to have this gem of a trail system. We spent a gorgeous fall afternoon riding here again and had a great time…except for all the webs …
Foster Creek Ride I feel like I type the same things each ride these days. As I’ve stated, the area around Crater Lake, and the Rogue River have countless options for gravel and moto trail rides. We have been incredibly lucky to spend time here and explore the area. This post is for our last …
