The route I'd planned for day 2 was a bit dubious having the same mileage that I'd hiked the first day. That hike took around 7 hours total for...

Did you end up deciding on a route / spot to stay in Tahoe? It's not just near the lake that books out fast, everything in the area seems to...

New trail?

They've been around for years. And I've been finding them in remote places for years.

Lots of stuff left to check out but only one day left on this trip. Gabe needed to be in Tehachapi for another trail work day so we stuck to that...

The High Desert Natl Rec Trail (HDNRT) from South Fork to Devil's Punchbowl is another trail I want to use for the route. It is habitually neglected...

Ran into Bruce Lee on a ride yesterday, practicing his moves. Sorry for shitty quality, but if you can't tell he's running backward down the hill...

Ditch clipless and ride in trail runners. Nothing better out there for hike a bike. And they have great ventilation.

People who leave trash behind are annoying. For some reason these floss sticks are even more annoying than regular trash. Why is it so many people...

From the last couple days. Saw a bobcat as well, but no pic. Baby rattler. Shooed it off the road And a Tarantula hawk. Not unusual...

Gabe had to work the following day. I took it easy, slept in, did some reading, had a nap, and then went for a ride over at the P12 network near...

The tour continues... The next morning I met up with Gabe and Rob P, a board member of both the Lowelifes and CA MTB (the CA Mountain bike...

After trail work I did a bit of exploring up top Mt Wilson. There is some cool trail up there. Nice views to the east

Which bank is that? My long time bank just got acquired by US Bank. They seem ok so far but I'm looking at options.

I read this article a few years ago, came across it again today. About fires and debris slides above LA. Article is from 1988. Great read. ...

Thanks guys! Well I need something to keep me busy : ) Yeah we definitely have some good stuff down here. Lots affected by fires but...

Unless we decide it needs some significant bonus climbing, Idlehour from the previous day's ride is not part of the Orogenesis route. Just on the...

Now it just refers to Harley Davidson riders, so it's perfectly acceptable to continue use in that context. : )

Urban canyon riding from tonite

I headed back to San Diego for a day while Gabe headed up to LA. I made the drive up there on Friday planning to ride Idlehour Trail with a buddy,...

That's interesting if a CNF map actually showed it as a route. Was border patrol actually there for you? With how busy PCT is now I think it...

That's not a failure to yield. By slowing down as you approach a hiker you give them plenty time to see you and react. If they step off the...

One of the more interesting sections of the route is from the US/Mex border at Tecate, north towards I-8. The Hauser and Pine Creek Wilderness...

Sounds brutal. We get lots of thistle some years which is annoying but doesn't leave much damage. Worse is in the mountains we get buckthorn...

Fair enough. I've transported 60lb bags of quickcrete in a backpack, riding in by bike. Also have used a bob trailer pulled by an ebike with a 60lb...
