Minnesota is the home of Duluth. I wouldn’t have given it a second thought, except that I heard on good authority that it is filled with awesome mountain bike trails. To that end, I set up a day at Spirit Mountain, located just a bit southwest of downtown. I drove up the hill, walked in […]

The Big Cuyuna
What a treat it was riding with my cousin Kyle! We had a blast at Lebanon Hills in Minneapolis. I miss him already. The day was still young and I had ample time to travel north to my next official stop in Duluth. A lot of people have talked up the Cayuna trails, so I […]

My third trail riding spot on my 2024 road trip. This time, I was headed from Rapid City’s mountain trails over to a place that is a bit less aggressive; Minneapolis, Minnesota. Highways 60 and 169 brought me to the Star of the North where I could jump into the Mall of America to get […]

Riding the Rapid City
Three road trips, three vehicles. I finally replaced the 4Runner that was destroyed in the Bentonville tornado, and I love the new 2024 TRD Pro. I got it all packed and ready to go on the big event this year; spending more than four weeks on the road riding the bike all around the USA. […]

After leaving St. George, Johnny and I enjoyed Las Vegas and Dead & Company at the Sphere. That place is pretty crazy! The show was fantastic and it’s always great to hang with my best concert buddy! We drove to San Jose along Highways 395 and 120 through Mammoth and Yosemite National Park. I had […]

Attack of the Gooseberry
The second event in my 2024 road trip journey started on a sad note. After the Bentonville tornado I had to bid farewell to my much-loved 4Runner. That’s right, the insurance company totaled her and I had to watch as they carted her away on a flatbed. She was less than three years old – […]

Another great day at the Bentonville Bike Festival in Arkansas! I was relaxing at the YT Mill and chatting with my friends before we hit the trails. YT’s brand new digs in town are amazing! But more on that later. A quick ride across downtown. When I say quick, I mean that our e-bikes brought […]

Bentonfest: Vol 1
The drive from Memphis Tennessee into Arkansas took me across the Mississippi River and into a storm front. The original plan was to stop and kill a few days in Dardanelle or Russellville and ride Mount Nebo – I was told it was riding incredibly well and that it was a whole lot of fun. […]

Memphis Trails
The drive from central Mississippi to Memphis, Tennessee was uneventful and maybe even a little bit restful. Anticipation was growing for the Bentonville Bike Fest the following weekend.

Ride On Zion
While on the road trip I made a stop in the French Quarter for a weekend to attend a friend’s bachelor party. Between the great food, awesome music, and constant celebration, I probably destroyed any fitness I had built up to this point in the trip. But it was worth it. I spent one morning […]
