On of the most fun rides on this Sacred Rides trip. It’s both challenging, fast, jarring and playful. It has it all. It starts with climbing, more climbing, great views then some flowy trails, rocks, exposure, technical drops, technical climbs and more great views – but those are plentiful here in Moab. Recorded with the GoPro […]

This must ride in Moab gets a bad wrap from some. The climbs can be difficult, especially if you’re not ready, but even if you walk a few of them, this loop is a blast and truly a must ride. We got lucky. The overcast sky and mid 70’s temperatures were perfect for this ride. […]

It’s fun trail with flowy section, some drops, technical, rough sections and just a bit of climing. Recorded […]

With our tickets printed we headed toward the train only to have our tickets checked twice and our baggage x-rayed similar to the process of getting on an airplane, just quicker. The train with its big long nose started to […]

The Rock of Gibralter is a bit of Britain in Spain. It’s not, but it does belong to England. It’s a shopping city filled with the likes of thousands of people in and out of hundreds of shops. The highpoint is a walk up to the top of the rock with spectacular views, including the […]

This is a typical Spanish town with a charming bright white old centre. The narrow streets and plenty of nooks and squares are covered with pots filled with bountiful and colorful flowers. Cafes and shops provide a welcome break from exploration over the cobbled stone paths meandering through the homes.
