On to a new video! I managed to set up the camera properly this time, ( I think?!) so let me know what you think. Went for a short ride in Hartshorne Woods. With the Hyner Trail Challenge coming up next weekend I kept it pretty mellow. Bike setup is a Santa Cruz Tall Boy R – Carbon Filmed on […]

It is no mystery to those who read the blog regularly that, in the words of Ricky Bobby, “I want to go fast!”. But in all honesty, hiking style is a very personal thing and the “light and fast” method isn’t for everyone. For me, the experience is just as much about the physical challenge as it is about experiencing […]
