The Rides

From big mountain out-and-backs to 100 mile journeys through the countryside to short spins around town, these detail the experiences I have and the things I see as I pedal along. 

Mount Grant, Mineral County, NV

Nevada is an incredible place with massive mountains. Here's my story about how I narrowly avoided getting arrested by military police after riding a continuous 17 mile 7,000 foot ascent, all on dirt.

From the Valley to the Sky: a 7300' ascent out of Maricopa, CA

Three college students attempt to ride what's possibly the longest sustained paved ascent in California. Shenanigans ensue.

White Mountain Peak, CA

A day after my mountain bike nationals race in July 2015, I went up into a remote mountain range to ascend California's only rideable fourteener. It was the best early birthday present I've ever gotten.
