A Winter bikepacking S24O

As I’m packing up my bike it starts raining. It’s February, and raining. I consider bagging the trip, but then remember what I learned long ago. If you cancel a trip because of potential bad weather, you’re not likely to go on too many trips. I’ve been itching to get out in the Winter on […]

Bikepacking Idaho Hot Springs Mtb Route, North Loop: Part 2

We got up a little earlier on Day 3, intent on heading into McCall for breakfast. We packed up quickly, ate a bar, and headed down out of the mountains. After a few miles we passed Little Payette Lake, then rolled into the outskirts of McCall, about ten miles from our campsite. We rode through […]

Bikepacking Idaho Hot Springs Mtb Route, North Loop: Part 1

I plan a lot of trips. I pour over maps, Google Earth, research campgrounds, towns, obscure roads, and so on. Maybe it’s a kind of therapy, a distraction, something to keep me going when I’d rather be outside. Most trips never happen, but some do. When Adventure Cycling Association came out with the new Idaho […]

Bikepacking Kokopelli’s Trail: Part 1

We had been thinking about Kokopelli’s all winter, after all it’s practically in our backyard, and is supposed to be an epic mountain bike route through spectacular scenery. We rode regularly through the winter, with many trips up to the groomed trails in American Fork Canyon. Spring wasn’t quite as productive with all the rain […]

Fat Bike Summit 2014: The Bikes

An article by the Professor. The 3rd Annual Fat Bike Summit was held in Ogden, Utah on January 24-25, 2014. Bullet and I went up on Saturday to check it out. I’ve never seen so many fat bikes in one place at the same time. I think there were about 150 people racing, and add […]

December Group Ride

Last Saturday, December 21st, the Fat Bike Brigade (minus Doc who was out of town) joined with Jake Weber of Epic Biking in Saratoga Springs (UT) for a group fat bike ride. We met at the Park and Ride at the mouth of American Fork Canyon, then carpooled up to Tibble Fork. We had nine […]

First Fat Snow Ride: Coyote Canyon Loop

Today was our first Fat Bike Brigade group ride and we had a total of seven riders ranging in age from 14 to 54. I would call that a success. And we woke up to our first significant snowfall of the season.  Though it was snowing this morning it was not really sticking to anything […]

Autumn Ride up Hobble Creek Left Fork

I’ve run up Hobble Creek left fork, and I’ve skied up it in winter, but I had never ridden up on a bike. It has warmed up here in Utah Valley the past week, and the daytime temperatures have been in the 60’s. The leaves are still turning and it is a beautiful time to […]
