Lol copy that - but S Idaho ain’t that much farther away. Pocatello is a good time, got some pals there and in twin falls. Boise too, I love that town.
I just found this thread. Unfortunately, I'm stationed in Goldsboro, NC where trails for either hobby are nonexistent within a 3 hour drive. 2020 Trek Fuel EX-8 next to the 2006 LJ. I also ride a Niner Air-9 XC racer that was built to climb Utah trails.
You're right. 2 hours and 25 minutes... hard to go there to ride when the jeep trails are so good. I had the same issue in Moab and Anchorage. Couple hour drive with the intention to ride but end up wheeling.
I still had google maps set to bicycle. So it threw me for a loop when it said 11 hours from Goldsboro to URE.
apparently last time I used google maps was when I was contemplating riding to Denali from Fairbanks.
That's a serious ride. I did Girdwood to Seward once. It sucked and we were overloaded. S&W 500 strapped to the chest didn't help.
I couldn’t imagine riding a bike all the way through the flats just to arrive on the climb up to Denali NP.
Will you stop at Slippery Dick's for a DiGiorno cheese or pepperoni pizza?
Don't know if that place is still around, but stopped there en route to Denali years ago. . . and was caught off guard by the theme. But, not as much as the dad who concealed his younger daughter's eyes as he scurried them to the bathroom.
Skinny Dicks half way Inn is still standing. Almost taken out bybforrest fires four years ago I believe. The scar reaches with in 40 yards of their property.
Rode into the office today. Been hanging up on my wall for a couple of years now, everything was still working perfectly. The frame is titanium, apart from lacing the spokes built everything myself, it’s around the same age as my jeep.

Hello from Augusta, Georgia - home of the FATS trails. Picked up my dream bike a few years ago and still loving it! It's a 2017 Yeti SB4.5C.

So, Gravel...I have a theory, and I'm not trying to offend, but it seems like the gravel bikes of today are yesterday's mountain bikes. I look at that geometry and I instantly go back to my first trek mountain bike, an 850 from about 1997. I still have that bike. I've been thinking about puttng curly bars and gravel tires on it. Its a full steel frame, rigid fork and 24 speed.
