Backcountry Riding and el Mundo Maya
Our Human Family Likes Bikes
Have you heard about the Backcountry Bike Challenge? It features/highlights some iconic locations around the USA, setting up the routes as bikepacking, car camping, section riding or fastest known time experiences. The website is still being set up, but you can get started on planning your next big ride:

There’s a new hut system in southern Utah. The Aquarius Trail & Hut System uses re-purposed shipping containers as the huts, complete with showers, kitchens and beds, as well as what you need to plug in and charge your phone … and your e-bike (ugh). Kitchens have stocked fridges and there’s a beer option you can pay for, which costs $50. Hope it’s not PBR.
