The sand. The wind. The elevation. This episode gave me PTSD. Yet I'll probably still do it again next year.

I've learned Rock Cobbler style to scare myself silly before rides so that the reality isn't as bad as my imagination...
Eastern sierra, one my favorite photo regions.

As the live mic race announcer for Mammoth Tuff and having myself promoted a few bike races in my day, hats off to Amanda and Sheek! They did a great job and did so many cool things for their racers! Thanks for the great video!

Great job through and through. I'm sure everyone left feeling the same way.
Right across that lake is one of the most epic mountain bike routes in this area. The Wheeler Ridge/ Wheeler Lake Trail. The DH section drops a few thousand ft, and puts you down just south of Toms place. It's a loose old jeep trail that is so full of pumice that you sort of have to "ski" down it. File under EPIC!

So many great options up there. I'm heading back in a couple of weeks...
This is a super 🎉 episode! I am planning a great Gravel ride Bridgeport, CA to Hawthorn, NV.

Oooh. Send me that route!
Loved this video. My family goes camping at Rock Creek Lake every year and I'm joining them next week. I'm going to do a loop around Benton Crossing and Hot Creek while I'm up there. I'm still a very beginner cyclist (longest ride is 43 miles on pavement with 1500 feet of elevation) but I'm aspiring to do Tuff next year!

I think the short course at Tuff is a great starter to get people to fall in love with gravel. So much packed into it!
I love the eastern Sierras. Lot fewer people than over on the west side of 'em
