A handful of pictures from yesterday’s shoot at Locust Shade

I recently had the opportunity to re-build Steve Hampsten’s website

Nearly 500 riders had the opportunity to ride trails aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCBQ) on Saturday April 30 on a perfect day for mountain biking.

I became the QMTB Trail Boss several years ago because I wanted to have an impact on the trails I often ride at Quantico.

It’s hard to believe that it has been nearly 25 years since I took over the popular cycling guide originally penned by Scott Adams. I

Miraflores has always held a special place in my heart. It’s where I spent a considerable amount of time as a teenager.

In early May of 2016 Ryan Delany, then Prince William County Parks and Recreation Trail Manager, reached out to Martín Fernández, of the Mid-Atlantic Off-Road Enthusiasts, about the possibility of leading an effort to revitalize the existing legacy trail system at Locust Shade Park in Triangle, Virginia.

I was fortunate to have video guru Drew Geraci of District 7 Media put together this short profile of me. In it I talk about my books and my passion for riding trails.

To ensure that you enjoy your first mountain bike to the fullest I’ve put together a list of regional trails and some information to help you get the most out of your new investment and understand where the trails you will be enjoying came from. That will help ensure the destinations you visit remain available for your enjoyment for years to come.

Our community lost a gem on Sunday, Aug 30 in a freak cycling accident. All of us who knew Pete were devastated and heart broken by the news. Pete was one of the most loving and compassionate person I had ever met, and I, along with many other of his friends shared a special bond with him.  I was honored when his wife asked me asked to speak to Pete's friends and family during his memorial services. This is what I said...

This past February we had the opportunity to visit Torino, Italy and I brought along my father’s recently refurbished Kodak Retina IIIc camera so that I could take a few snapshots of the adventure.

Salkanty, Perú’s 12th highest peak, gets its name from the Quechua word, “sallqa”, meaning untamed, uncivilized and invincible. Its relative proximity to Machu Picchu (to the north) has made this prominent peak, and its surrounding Inca roads, a popular alternative to the often crowded Inca Trail.

Those who know me know that I have a deep rooted fondness for the Llama. After all, I’m from Perú, and this Andean camelid is in Perú’s national emblem (a Vicuña by the way).

Tips for getting ready and riding the MoCo Epic or any other long distance bike ride like the Tour deFall Line or Patapsco 50k

I spent the evening with Will Niccolls, host of the Angry Mountain Biker, to talk about mountain biking in the Washington DC, Maryland and Baltimore regions

I spoke to James , developer of Yazda and Trail Status, a few weeks ago to ask what prompted him to pick up and move to Colorado, all while in the process of developing his apps.

Over the past few weeks I reached out to two local photographers who specialize in Cycling Photography to talk about their craft, how they got into shooting, and what they love about documenting cycling and the athletes that practice our sport.

An interview with Jim Harman, founder of EX2 Adventures, and Holly Fisher, of SCORE, on what's in store in 2016 for adventure racing around DC.

Mountain Biking in the DC Region would not be what it is today without the efforts of MORE’s current President: Ernie Rodriguez.

Several people joined me as I gave a presentation on Mountain Biking in and around the DC Region at REI’s DC Wunder Garten at the NoMa.
