A solo overnighter on a bucket-list trail that led to playing in the dirt and a conversation with crows.
We started the ride expecting a 30+ mile blast through the Pisgah Ranger District. A route we put together that encompasses 3 of the baddest downhills Pisgah has to offer. It was going to be epic…
As I was patting myself on the back for making it across the canal and to my destination, I wasn’t really expecting much from Panama City itself. But while rolling through and catching a glimpse, I knew that it required further exploring… plus trip stats.
A 208 mile (335 km) off-pavement adventure over some of the most challenging and rewarding terrain of our trip…
We recently heard rumblings about a must-ride ‘extra’ to the typical southward bound pan-american cycling route: an eighty-some-odd mile figure-eight around the double-volcano island of Ometepe in the southern freshwater sea of Lago de Nicaragua.

From Dangriga, Belize to Flores, Guatemala… the hills begin!
Some final thoughts on Mexico and a respite from pedaling on Caye Caulker for a few days… y muchas fotos.
… miles that is, and other useless stats. Plus photos…
