EWS at this weekend and is providing the on-mountain transportation with a fleet of utvs! So psyched to watch my friends race against the worlds best enduro riders on our home mountain. Incredibly psyched to be part of the event.

Three days of bikepacking throughout VT and NH, documented at Heady Adventures.

On Thursday July 2 I left my home in St. Johnsbury VT with the intention of riding solo, self supported to my summer home in Weare NH to celebrate Independence Day with my family. The route I had mapped out followed the Vermont Super 8 course clockwise on the Northern Lobe (the opposite of the nor

Transformed my Pivot Les Fat to a 29+ Bikepacking rig (Fork is from a Trek 1120). Shout out to Eric for the super quick custom wheel build!
