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...

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: 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...

Mountain Biking Canyonlands National Park

Pete — Sun, 16 Jul 2017 00:27:29 +0000

To break up the long drive to Denver while on our 10 Day Epic Road Trip, we stopped in Moab, UT to do some mountain biking and spend the night. We checked in to our motel, The Virginian, and set off to find some easy trails to ride. It was in the 90’s so we weren’t looking for anything too difficult. Luckily the MTB Project app was very useful for finding the trail we were after.

Nelson Singletrack Trails: Ride Until the Sun Sets

Pete — Wed, 14 Jun 2017 05:47:33 +0000

Monday night Steve and I took advantage of some very unseasonably cool temperatures for Vegas in June and headed out to Nelson for an after-work rip through the hills. We hit singletrack pretty much the entire ride. There were some big hill climbs and tons of fun gnarly stuff. The weather was insanely nice. I knew the temperatures would be hitting 115° within a week so I’m really glad Steve...

Solo Riding & Exploring Warner Valley, Utah

Pete — Sat, 27 May 2017 23:00:30 +0000

While I was in Utah for the day on Saturday to ride the Toquerville Twister, I decided to stay the night and get a little more riding in while I was there. I had nothing going on Sunday so why not stay and explore some new areas? I had a feeling I may want to stay the night while loading my gear up, so I grabbed my Wolfman camping duffel which has everything I normally use for motocamping.

Toquerville Twister Singletrack: A Utah Favorite

Pete — Wed, 24 May 2017 04:03:16 +0000

Located just outside La Verkin, the Toquerville Twister is some of Utah’s best moto singletrack. Featuring 100% twisty singletrack that runs right along steep canyon walls, it is a must-do for riders who love technical trails. It’s exposure to the cliff side makes this trail not recommended for beginners. There are a few tricky hill climbs and rocky drops, but nothing like the stuff you see in the...

Searching For Singletrack: Eldorado Valley & Jean, NV

Pete — Tue, 09 May 2017 16:21:50 +0000

Sunday morning I had the itch to go exploring and find some new singletrack. Shocking huh? I started by testing out my trials and balance skills. The last time I rode down Pipeline Rd, I had the extreme urge to try and ride the top of the pipe from one end to the other. I know it’s not difficult and I can do it, but it’s a mental thing for some reason. I can picture myself losing traction with the...
