Trail & Ride Reviews

Atlanta, Georgia

Riding Bear Creek for the first time with my 10-year-old son recently brought back memories of when I began visiting the trail almost 20 years ago—before bikes had shock absorbers, disk brakes, or clipless pedals. GPS? Must’ve been some weird trail name we’d not yet figured out. All I cared about was making the trip every weekend to test man and machine against some real hills, and then maybe stop off to sample some of Col. Poole’s finest barbecue at the Taj-Ma-Hog.

Moab, Sedona, Fruita… These are the well-known giants of the Southwest when it comes to biking. For those looking to buck the crowds and venture a bit further a field, Taos is a hidden treasure with a huge payoff. Luckily placed along the Enchanted Circle road route and the South Boundary Trail head, Taos aims to please all types of riders. The best advice when coming to Taos is bring your teddy bear, eat your Wheaties, and if you’re not the praying type, now’s the time to start.

So, Wisconsin may not be the first state that comes to mind when you think of mountain biking, much less epic single track. The north woods of Wisconsin is known more for hunting, fishing , and people who drink copious amounts of beer. But don’t let that fool you. There are gems of trail systems hidden all over the forests, like the trails at Nine Mile State Forest in Wausau Wisconsin.
