A photo essay from a sub-arctic snow bike trip through Alaska’s White Mountains.

In 2010, I rode through Baja, Mexico on a Surly Long Haul Trucker. On our first off-pavement excursion, Nick and I pushed our bikes through long sections of sand and washboard. It wasn’t fun. We needed bigger tires. After this experience, we stuck to Highway 1 and pedaled past all the dirt tracks, wondering where they might lead. There is a lot more dirt than pavement on the peninsula. Five years later, Baja was still a huge question mark. This winter I came back with an Advocate Cycles Hayduke.

The Chumba Ursa 29+ BC tested on dirt roads, singletrack, rough cattle trails, and equestrian trails throughout the Eastern Sierra…
