Queensland, Australia

Weekend Snapshot

By Marty Stayte

Recently, I turned 50. To celebrate, I went on a nostalgic 1,000-kilometre ride through all the towns I grew up to honour my journey in life. The highlight was meeting up with my mum and dad on my birthday at the hospital where I was born. It was a special journey!

Taurus Mountains, Turkiye

Weekend Snapshot

By Valerio Stuart

Riding on a 2,100-metre plateau at the feet of the Tekelik Dagi in Türkiye’s Taurus Mountains. I tried to outrun a storm, but I wasn’t fast enough!

Arizona, USA

Weekend Snapshot

By Miles Arbour

I made last minute plans to tackle the Coconino Loop out of Flagstaff last week, but remnants of tropical storm Rachel forced me to pivot quickly. With help from my friend Paul, I rode north from Tucson to Phoenix on the Arizona Trail. It was one heck of an adventure, and I faced pretty much every type of weather that could be thrown at me.
