If you’re not tired of hearing me talk about building routes yet…. I was honored to be asked to join Alex Gay from RWGPS for a chat with the Rapha Cycling Club SF and Marin County Bicycle Coalition. We were asked to present on route building, which you know is one of my favorite topics. … Read more
This route is the product of a my recent podcast Ep. 71 with Ryan Stoyer. When I reached out to him to see if he’d be interested in coming on the podcast he was quick to say yes, but he had one condition. He wanted to go bikerafting. Only one problem, I’d never been bikerafting … Read more

Quickly becoming known as one of the most challenging bikepacking routes in the country, this self-supported race departs from downtown Fayetteville on Saturday, Oct. 9. The race is a 1,000+ mile loop following the Arkansas High Country Route, a series of three gravel and paved road loops that connect several of the state’s stunning natural regions, including the Ozark and Ouachita mountain ranges and the Arkansas River Valley.
