The 2021 running of unPAved of the Susquehanna River Valley was gloriously epic. It was muddy. It was drizzly rainy. It was epic. Here’s a quick rundown of the bags I had on my bike for all 127 miles, what each bag contained, and how well it performed.

What an amazing, fun-filled weekend in Lewisburg, PA for the unPAved of the Susquehanna River Valley! It rained (who cares), got muddy (added to the epic), and everyone had an absolutely amazing time. Starting with the pub crawl on Friday, the Packet Pickup (party) on Saturday, and culminating with the main event on Sunday it was an epic weekend. Easy …

I’m no scientist but this was a fun experiment. I mapped out a loop along the Watauga River outside Valle Crucis, NC that consists of 10 miles of gravel of varying sizes and 3.5 miles of hardtop with 600 feet of elevation change. I ran three laps back to back to back at 3 different psi settings and compared the …
If you have been following along this season you know I have been trying to get my hands on a new Diverge frameset. The real driver behind that upgrade is the ability to increase tire width. My current Diverge maxes out at 700×38. Joey suggested experimenting with his WTB 650b wheels running WTB Venture 47’s. They had clearance inside my …
OK, y’all just bear with me a second. You know the bike’s my thing but sometimes those boots are made for walking. And what better place to take a hike (and share with yinz) than a purpose-built MTB trail with some kick-ass features that welcome the shoe leather. The Emerald Outback trail system sits on the top of Beech Mountain …
The GTD crew took off for a quick spin on some gravel roads in Loudon County, VA recently. We launched out of Purcellville, VA with a route provided by Basecamp Frederick (thanks Chris!). It was 40 miles of fun with mostly gravel roads and about 3k feet of elevation gain. As most successful adventures do this one ended with some …
Mid-Atlantic Gravel Travel & Dirt headed up to Carderrock to get some C&O miles in this week. Ride along with us!
Got a hunger for some gravel? But you think it’s too far away? Think again. This beautiful little trail lies just on the other side of the 301 bridge in King George, VA. There is even a small primitive campsite at the mid-way point that would be perfect for a quick overnight getaway or shakedown ride. In March 2019 the …
I’ve had a fat bike for a couple of years now. It is a Specialized FatBoy I picked up used just for fun. And it has delivered on the fun. But I mostly used it in the dirt, some muddy sloppy conditions in places that were not trail systems, and a little bit of loose sand and some neighborhood snow. …
