Last week, we headed south to the desert to get the most out of our bike season.

With warm sunny days and chilly evenings, we got the best fall weather, as we biked, ate food, hung out with friends, and… well, that’s pretty much all we did on repeat.

We ran a couple bike shuttles and had plenty of good hits on the trail. While it couldn’t have been a bike trip without a couple mechanical failures, it was still a blast to be out in the desert with a bunch of friends.

And one of the best things about the whole trip was our travel vehicle. We partnered with VanCraft back in March, where we went on a week long ski van trip, as well as helped with a promo video made by our good friend Marcus Catlett. But this time, we got to experience the van on a bike trip, and it couldn’t have worked more perfectly.

Not only was it nice to be able to comfortably fit all our gear on the trip, we also were able to easily set up camp, cook delicious meals, sleep in a warm bed, and even take a couple apres bike showers out of the back of the van (arguably the best part…). Huge thanks to VanCraft for partnering with us for this trip!

I hope you enjoy our latest weekend vlog, filled with highs and lows, traverses and punchy climbs, epic rock drops and dusty berms.
