I’ve learned a ton about gear, weather considerations, and weekend rides. Meeting other riders through threads is the best way to explore. It’s also nice to ask for advice before heading out solo
sounds like you've found your way! I'm hoping to do the same, with a slight delay as our new little one will be here in about a month lol. But this summer I'm hoping to hit some fire roads and get out into the forest
I'm building up a 1991 trek 830 that can fit 2.35 width tires on it, hoping to get out there and explore. Moving from Texas, it's taken a few years before I realized that there was just as much trail off the road out here as there is on it. Maybe more!
