Everyone is out enjoying the trails today. This is one of the few quiet sectors โ€ฆ and it is so beautiful.

Thankfully thatโ€™s very close by and was enjoyed after working!

15 Degrees Isn't Always Cold
YouTube video by Chris Rechtsteiner 15 Degrees Isn't Always Cold

15 degrees is cold. If youโ€™re standing outside, it will cut right through you.

Ride a fat bike on singletrack with 4-6" of fresh snow though, and suddenly, it isn't that cold.

Cold. Grey. Windy. Mist giving way to rain, soaking our already soaked selves. It didnโ€™t matter. It was critical we fit in miles, and the requisite conversations, in advance of a vicious cold snap that is forecast to grace our presence on Tuesday.

It was exactly what everyone sought. #GetOutAndRide

A cold Sunday morning means #Coffee & #Cyclocross โ€ฆ and then #singletrack!

Still one of the best shot angles in cycling. They never get old.

The celebration game needs a little work! Hopefully heโ€™ll have a chance at the Elite level next year.

The UCI YouTube channel usually has the highlight packages too (and the full WC races, at least this year)

Got out on what may be my favorite route today. Everything Bella Vista has to offer: B-roads, gravel, singletrack, winding climbs, barns, and more, were accounted for.

Mid-50s, sunshine, crystal clear blue skies and trails handling the very rapid thaw perfectly!

Itโ€™s better than advertised. No matter what you like to ride, itโ€™s here. Park features, back country trails, perfect ribbons of clay capped singletrack. All of it.

Grateful to be able to step out on my deck in the morning, with an amazing coffee, and see world-class MTB trails โ€” trails that draw riders from around the world.

Yet, Iโ€™m lucky enough to enjoy them every day.

It would be nice to see all three tomorrow โ€ฆ but it doesnโ€™t look like Wout will be there.

Just maybe this will inspire Wout to go to worlds. While no one is beating MvdP (without external circumstances), it would be great to see them both there.

Itโ€™s a shame we havenโ€™t been able to see Joris Nieuwenhuis prior to the last few races. Heโ€™s clearly on good form and ready to battle for a podium at worlds.

It didnโ€™t look like an MvdP attack after the Wout crash on the descent but heโ€™s gone!

Already back in 3rd and closing. So glad to see it.

He looked defeated after that. The slump of the shoulders was heavy. I hope he bounces back!

Todayโ€™s Rule of 3-inspired ride was a celebration of a perfect January day: crystal clear blue skies, 40+ degree, rainbow tunnels, armadillos, and a bald eagle.

Days like today showcase the magic of this place I get to call home.

Singletrack, trails really, always feel more personal. It demands attention, rewards your focus, and punishes even the slightest bit of inattentiveness. But in these miles of effort, I find rhythm, a dialogue with the trail, with nature, thatโ€™s equal parts humility and, for me, peace.

Totally understand, especially when all new models will support a 3โ€ wheel set, too.

Iโ€™m quietly looking for a Full Stache bc I think a full sus 3โ€ footprint would be really fun in Bella Vista so Iโ€™m in the rabbit hole. :-)

Fat bikes are a special. I love that everyone I see while riding mine smiles and wants me to stop so they can ask questions. Never ceases to amaze me, or bring me joy. #FatBikes arenโ€™t new and people are still little kids when they see one. So much fun!
