What you’ll find here
Trail Guides
Trails I’ve actually ridden, with the distance, where to park, what the surface is like, where to stop, and the little details that make the day go smoother.
Gear Reviews
Honest looks at bike computers, lights, bags and other gear that matters on a long, flat trail ride. I share the good and the bad, and I tell you when a review is based on research instead of my own use.
Ride Stories
What it’s really like out there, starting with my 29.19-mile out-and-back on the Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail. Photos are my own, taken on the ride.
