We spent the summer traveling around the United States following the enduro mountain biking circuit and living the #vanlife with our two dirt bikes, four bicycles and lots of craft beer.
She’s a 1998 Ford e250 cargo van with 190,000 miles and a lot of rust, affectionately nick-named Great White the Adventure Van. We sleep in a car top tent so we can fit all our toys in and on the back — two motos and four bikes — and we prioritize budget over aesthetics.
If you want a more in depth tour, check out this article on TGR.
Because we’re racing and training full time, we have to eat well. The money we save on our dirtbag van, we spend on food. Mmmm, bacon.
Write your story here. (Optional)
For desert riding and slickrock and unrivaled starscapes.
Downhill riding and racing at Angel Fire Resort, riding motos in Alcalde, and eating lots of green chile.
Epic singletrack. Epic views. Epic hot springs. Endless KAVU days.
Rainy days make muddy trails and slippery good times. Coffee in the tent as summer fades into fall.
12,109 miles driven in the van
8 states
2,004 miles ridden (since April)
All the bacon
