I was lucky enough to be able to take a week and bring my family to Durango, Colorado to relax and to ride some trails.

To start out my Durango mountain bike excursion, I chose to re-ride the only trail I was already familiar with; Twin Buttes.

I took the family on a quick road trip to Durango, and we stopped on our first night in Flagstaff, Arizona.

On Father’s Day, I met with my Brother-In-Law Rick and we rode through his Walnut Creek neighborhood hills on the mountain bikes.

A hot Summer requires occasional respites. We drove to Groveland, CA where we sampled the offerings at Exchequer Bike Park on Lake McClure. It was a fun and interesting day that was filled with some great downhills and great people.

In a feature that departs from mountain biking just a bit, I have decided to share my 2018 backpacking trip to Graveyard Lakes in the Sierra Nevada.

As the proud owner of a new Ibis Ripmo v2, I wanted my first ride to be one for the books. To that end, I called my Patrick, riding buddy, and we met at the Soquel Demonstration Forest lot to ride the Flow Trail.
