Dirtbiking Kennedy Meadows: June 2022 Ride Report

Pete — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 14:23:41 +0000

Every summer when the Vegas heat starts cranking up, we head up to the Sierras to ride the cool mountain trails of Kennedy Meadows. It has become one of my favorite places to ride. With miles and miles of flowy singletrack, you can easily spend a few days here and hit something new every day. Since I started going in 2019, I’ve gotten to know the place pretty well. So since we had 2 full days to...

Green River Dirtbike Trip Report: Good While It Lasted

Pete — Sat, 23 Apr 2022 17:18:57 +0000

For years I’ve been itching to get up to the Green River area and ride. There is so much technical terrain, subway-shaped tubes of rock washes, and incredible views in every direction. When I saw there was a Green River Dirtbike Rally coming up I immediately signed up and made plans to head up. Instead of bringing the Sprinter moto van this trip, we decided my toy hauler (“the big dumb trailer”)...

Ride Report: Toquerville and Warner Valley Moto Trip

Pete — Tue, 05 May 2020 03:25:28 +0000

Every year our group makes it up to Utah to ride the Toquerville Twister singletrack. It’s a flowy, intermediate/ advanced trail that is only accessible by dirtbike. It hugs canyon walls and borders deadly cliff sides. The hardest part is keeping your eye on the trail because the views are that awesome! Once you make it past all that, it winds through rocks and trees and the singletrack ends at a...

Ride Report: Kennedy Meadows…Singletrack Heaven!

Pete — Fri, 09 Aug 2019 02:41:28 +0000

For years I have heard about Kennedy Meadows as an epic place to camp and ride dirtbikes. When anyone asks about this place online I usually see the local So Cal riders respond with something like, “it sucks, don’t go there”. This is the same way we joke when people ask about Dumont Dunes, therefore I know it must be good. So what is Kennedy Meadows and where is it? It’s just outside the small...

Ride Report: Toquerville Twister | May 2019

Pete — Wed, 15 May 2019 04:42:01 +0000

Ever since I rode the Toquerville Twister two years ago I have been hooked and wanted to go back. The Twister is an extremely fun and challenging combination of singletrack, hill climbs, drop-downs, tight and technical obstacles, and water crossings. Some exposed areas of the cliffside singletrack aren’t for the faint of heart. It is definitely not a beginner trail, but most intermediate or fairly...

Ride Report: Singletrack Sunday near Primm, NV

Pete — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 06:34:58 +0000

Since it rained on Saturday, Mike B and I decided to take advantage of the prime dirt and weather conditions on Sunday and head out to find some singletrack near Primm. The Primm and Jean/ Roach area offers tons of trails and singletrack. You just have to look past those powerline roads to find them all. We left Henderson Sunday morning and headed into Boulder City for some quick Micky D’s...

Ride Report: Sloan-Goodsprings-Pioneer Saloon

Pete — Sun, 02 Dec 2018 18:18:24 +0000

Saturday was time for another desert ride with our Canadian friend, Jordan. I told him he couldn’t visit Vegas without riding out to Goodsprings to check out the Pioneer Saloon. Built in 1913, the place is full of character and history. There’s also one of my favorite canyon trails featuring winding singletrack, narrow canyons, and fun hill climbs on the way. It is a must-do if we are riding out...

Ride Report: Nelson-Searchlight Day Ride

Pete — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 15:30:53 +0000

Recently I was contacted by Jordan, a rider traveling from British Columbia, Canada looking for information on places to ride and people to link up with. It turns out that through his searches for a good ride spot in Nevada, he came upon Nelson Hills, my favorite place to ride and also my backyard. I had to show him around so my buddy Mike and I formed a plan to meet up for a Sunday ride.

Camping and Trail Riding in Duck Creek, Utah

Pete — Wed, 29 Aug 2018 04:56:03 +0000

Every summer my buddies and I try to get away for an epic, week-long adventure ride. Unfortunately, this was not one of those summers. Life, conflicting schedules, and van building got in the way. So we decided to make this summer’s trip a much easier one and just head up to Utah. We decided on Duck Creek because it’s an easy drive from Vegas and the high elevation makes it an enjoyable place to...

Adventure Ride Report: Goldpoint, Nevada

Pete — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 16:41:16 +0000

Every spring our riding group, My2Wheels.com, gets together in the little town of Goldpoint, NV to camp and ride. It’s a great place to base camp because there are several old sites to see and places to ride in every direction within a couple hundred miles. The riding isn’t technical or challenging, but just getting out with friends and adventure riding is just what I needed after spending most of...
