The forecast called for a week of wet weather in the Pacific Northwest, signalling the beginning of the rainy season, and our cue to migrate south in search of dry trails and warmer temperatures. We filled Mike Levy's Mitsubishi Delica to the brim with the latest 2014 bikes and gear in preparation for nearly a month of riding and testing in Sedona, Arizona, and hit the road. Roughly 1500 miles south of Pinkbike's headquarters, Sedona is a solid 24 hour drive in most vehicles, although it takes a little longer in a diesel van with 10 horsepower. Stopping only for fuel, we barreled through the night and into the next day, eager to escape the metal confines of the van and get on a bike.
We've corralled the latest and greatest rides on the market - stay tuned for more from Pinkbike's Bike Review Roundup in Sedona.
Maybe I should go into a grad program somewhere with more trails. Take out a few more loans, and ride every day, haha.
As some of you said, I have to play the game the same way I would with riding bikes because I'm going to benefit from it one day. The thing is I do, it simply seems like a lot of it is a waste of my time- I used biology as an example. I do love the humanities (World Lit, Global Studies, Civ & Econ), I simply hate spending a total of 7 hours a week in either a biology or math classroom when I could be out shredding, which to be completely honest is what I want to do with my life. Also, due to having an average of 2.5 hours of homework a night and the sun going down fast, I'm lucky to get 3 rides in a week. Which just sucks.
Great choices you need to ride them all, but add CO (Fruita/Grand Junction) to your bucket!
Riding way back in Moab changed my life and then there was Whister!!
