As I drove towards Rock Creek I came to the quick realization that I was under prepared. I just used google to get directions to Georgetown and figured once I got there I'd take a look at the map and get exact directions. I didn't once think that there wouldn't be any cell signal in Georgetown. That was the beginning of a bunch of bad planning decisions that I made that day. My printed map was too small to read. So I was left with what was on my phone. However, if for some reason my battery died or I crashed and broke my phone...I'd be ass out. My understanding of how Strava works should have been tested before I left Sacramento. Apparently you can't just bring up a ride and follow it. Doh! Nor does it work to zoom around when there is no cell signal. Either way, after I drove all the way up there I decided to overcome the inside voice that was telling me to just leave. I headed out the direction that I thought I was supposed to be headed, and out into the great unknown. It was an adventure. Not a super productive one,…

This was a short little trail we decided to do while in North Lake Tahoe after riding the Sawtooth Trail. It was really a lot of fun. I mean so much fun it would be worth driving up to just do it 3 or 4 times. The climb wasn't too bad and the grin meter was off the charts! Garmin or Strava JPG or PDF GoPro Tool

On this ride Moonlight Leatherfoot, The Billygoat, and Bearded Ben went with me up to Truckee, Ca to ride the Sawtooth trail. This trail was a lot of fun with very little elevation change. Overall it was a good time. We rode another trail that day as well and I would recommend either doing the trail 2 times maybe once clockwise and another time counter-clockwise, doing 2 laps, or finding some other trails to link to it.

This was a double first day.  First time riding Napa's Skyline Wilderness Park and the first time riding with a YouTube Subscriber!!!  My buddy Bearded Ben and I met up with Steve Y and we all three took on the task of not getting lost in Skyline.  We got some trail advice that must have been from a billy goat because the first climb was brutal.  Aside from that the ride was fun.  I'm sure I'll go back, but next time I'll climb the fire road instead of that monster of a hill.   We parked at the gravel parking lot on Streblow across from college then: River to Ridge Trail > Skyline Trail > Buckeye > Skyline Trail towards Tuteur Loop >Tuteur Loop clockwise > back on Skyline Trail towards Chaparral > down Chaparral > Marie Creek Trail > Manzanita Trail > Biker's Bypass to main parking lot > Skyline Trail> Back out on River to Ridge Trail Garmin or Strava JPG or PDF Nothing to see here

Gene from Regular Guy Mountain Biking (RGMTB) reached out to me to do an interview. I must say I was flabbergasted and honored that he would consider me to do a bike check with. None-the-less, we got together and had a chat about the Bronson that was a lot of fun. He's a good guy that's really easy to talk to. I hope you all enjoy, and take a some time to check out this video! Nothing to see here Nothing to see here Oury Grips

When you set out on a ride you don't always get what you planned for. Trent and I definitely had a case of the shit just ain't going right on this little adventure. We still had a good time and walked away from it with a few good laughs. Plus, we got to ride bikes. Can't go wrong there! Garmin or Strava JPG or PDF IyvX Towelettes

This was a little add-on exploring we did after the Flemming Meadow trail. I had heard about the trail and just couldn't find much info on it. So we did the climb up the road and went down the trail. Most of it was way over my skillset, however, it was fun to check it out and be able to have something to post to those of you who have balls waaaaay bigger than mine.
