After 155 miles, 21h of net riding time, 17K feet of total elevation and being in places that are only accessible by foot or by bike, the Kokopelli trail is bigger, more enjoyable, and the most adventurous thing I’ve ever done so far.
Every member can nominate up to 3 projects each year that they would like the Association to support. This year SOURCE decided to vote for the following projects…
4 weeks before I embark to the Kokopelli trail a business trip to Las Vegas presented an excellent opportunity to try out the desert conditions, my brand new Source Whisler hydration pack and my fitness.
Dwight D Eisenhower’s words crossed my mind after my friend Matt Sordill, a gifted bike mechanic, left my house. We dedicated an hour to a thorough bike inspection, bike fixes and some first aid tips.
It’s a question that probably every driver with a Garmin navigation device on their dashboard has asked themselves at least once: What did we ever do before GPS? How did people find their way around, especially in places they’d never been before?
The old saying that there are no shortcuts in life was probably written by a bike rider. If you really want to enjoy bike riding, beside to ride to the deli and back, training is the key.
I ended up riding for 2 hours with my friend Yohan (an excellent rider) across a diverse terrain: fire roads, single-tracks, creak crossing and much more.
Our Widepac 2L hydration system received a perfect 10/10 in Best in Test – Country Walking magazine (March, 2012). “This is the benchmark hydration bladder”.
This blog will chronicle my preparations for the experience of a life time (so far lol). In early April 2012 I will embark on a multi-day, self-guided and self-supported mountain adventure , the epic Kokopelli trail, which extends from Fruita, CO to Moab, UT.
