Being cold on a ride can really dampen things. I can think back in a number of rides when the cold really took the fun out of things. Most of the time, this happens at the beginning or the ending of a day. We have some real challenges: early mornings late evenings High elevation amplifies the temps swings Usually soaked with sweat throughout all my…

If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me about riding alone, I'd have more nickels than the average person. The truth is that I ride alone all the time.

I don’t want to own a good dirt bike… I want a freaking GREAT DIRT BIKE! These days Every major manufacturer (and even some of the really small ones) makes a good dirt bike.
