Earn Your Beer, New Monthly Biking Column, and Ocean Protection

I’ve been writing my Earn Your Beer column in Adventure Sports Journal (Santa Cruz, CA) for 4-5 years. The current installment is about bikepacking and digital detoxing (not beer detoxing) in the Anza-Borrego desert in east county San Diego. You can read it here at no cost: https://adventuresportsjournal.com/earn-your-beer-132-digital-detox/

I’m super happy to announce to Paseando MTB readers that I have new monthly column with San Diego Magazine that will feature biking roads, pathways, dirt/fire/gravel roads, desert roads and trails across San Diego County. So far, there are 2 installments, which you can read here:

Coming out in a week or so, hitting newsstands and mailboxes, is the next edition of the print San Diego Magazine. In it is a feature I wrote about riding Noble Canyon in San Diego’s mountains, one of the premiere rides in southern California.

Also out now in a new print and online magazine called Session Mag: For the Water Lovers is a piece I wrote about ocean protection and management, using the snorkel lens to reflect on oceanic life and policy that features La Jolla, CA: https://www.session-magazine.com/articles/beneath-the-surface-at-la-jollas-marine-protected-areas--what-to-expect--what-we-are-protecting.html

If you ever are in San Diego, you can easily bike in the mountains and get in ocean time in one day. It’s why a lot of us live here, despite the “sunshine tax!”

Cheers, everyone! Make it a great weekend!
