There’s a select number of aspirational rides on the GBC list and biking Bodie has been near the top. I specifically didn’t have this in my bucket list for the reasons that I hadn’t seen that much recon online and it’s a big commitment to reach if you live anywhere near the coast. Even though […]

I take Southern California for granted meaning gravel like the Harding Truck Trail gets overlooked. Covering this large and long state is quite a task, so I don’t want to skew to my local area too heavily but there are times when I need to expand the portfolio. The Santa Ana Mountains are similar to

Gravel should not be about me, but us and Mammoth Tuff hits all the notes. I stated recently that this is my favorite event because of the combining elements of riding, destination and atmosphere. For many these rides, your life is focused to the moment you get to the starting line, butt Mammoth Tuff makes

You’d be hard pressed to find a event better than Mammoth Tuff and I’m all here for it. I have no exceptions that there’s always a level of anxiety before a ride, though this is such a destination weekend that I’m looking to the whole experience.
