Where would you go?

[Wilhelmson]

Most of us are lucky to have some pretty good bike trails in our neighborhoods or not too far from home.

Where have you always wanted to mtb? I haven't thought much about this before now. I would like to bike in a redwood or sequoia forest.

Sedona in the fall. Grand Staircase.

I'm more of a cruiser/hybrid bike rider. There were some nice trails/paths for that in and near Bryce Canyon National Park, UT. Specifically, Red Canyon bike trail outside the park and the scenic drive in the park. The scenic drive in the park follows a high ridgeline and is not have constant large elevation inclines and declines, which is good for easy-going riders like me.

Peru. Sure I want to do the big 11,000 foot descents like Olleros


but there's also coastal desert that needs cruising.


And, of, course, Copper Canyons in Mexico

Iceland.

Iceland.

I was there last Summer. Only hiked, but I'm sure the MTB'ing would be amazing. I give credit to the road riders there as the winds don't stop.

 

[Tom K.]

Sedona (I've come SO close five different times).

Arkansas. They build over a mile of trail a week.

Duluth Minnesota. I grew up in that area. When I left in 1985, there was approximately zero single track. Now there is a lot.

If you haven't ridden the Flume Trail above Lake Tahoe, you are missing something special.

I'm still pretty new to this all, so I'm still working on places in Alaska to go ride my bike. In particular I really want to ride the Lost Lake trail north of Seward, that part of Alaska is absolutely breathtaking and I really want to see more of it. https://www.trailforks.com/trails/lost-lake-trail/

@Wilhelmson I'd like to suggest the coastal mountain range near SF Bay area, but with the recent fires, I'm sure many of the signature trails are gone or over crowded.

The Soquel Demonstration Forest


Big Basin Redwood Forest


But I think North Shore near Vancouver BC should be on your list

I plan on doing the Plateau Passage trail next spring with the modification of clipping the Moab to Durango segment and tacking on the Kokopelli trail onto the route instead. Anyone care to go? I will be on an E bike.
