If you’re wondering what to do this weekend, you should get yourself to the Vail Valley and check out the 2011 Teva Mountain Games. It’s all about adventure in the outdoors. Originally started as a kayak event, the Games have expanded to include other events like mountain biking, fly-fishing, and that new fangled water sport, stand-up paddle boarding.
Had a chance to ride mountain bike trails in Salida last week. It was the perfect place to stretch the legs on the way to Denver from Santa Fe. After a very short detour off Highway 285 unloaded the bikes and gear in an epicenter of fat tire fun.
I remember the first time I enjoyed street food. I was in a little town on the mainland of Mexico and I was traveling with my family. The memory is very surprising because the importance of food hygiene, something very integral to my parent’s eating habits, had escaped them at the time.
The Allegrippis Trails opened in the spring of 2009 with over 30 miles of singletrack. For what they may lack in technical challenge, they more than make up for in F-U-N. Can you say flow? Beginners to experts will find just the type of experience they’re looking for no matter where they go in the system. For those who think it might be too easy – bring your singlespeed and then tell us what you think…
Penns Valley is is east and a little bit north of State College. The area is home to a plethora of riding: singletrack, fire roads, rail trails. We strung together all of that over the course of a couple of hours. The Pennsylvania countryside is beautiful!
Copper Harbor is one of those places that you must see – sweet trails and stunning views of Lake Superior and the Keweenaw Peninsula. It’s got some serious backcountry flavor.
Lebanon Hills is one of the better urban trail system that we’ve ridden. There is definitely something for everyone from the new beginner to the seasoned vet. The advanced trails include drops, log features, rock gardens and flow sections (berms, rollers, small table-tops).
