Places We Pedal

One of our favorite trails is the Kitsuma Trail outside of Black Mountain, NC. Recently, Buncombe County threw down and improved the Point Lookout Trail, which has been our favorite way to make a loop out of this advanced singletrack decent. Starting at the Contintental Divide, you’ll climb up and descend Kitsuma Ridge, finish at … Continue reading →

Get the fuc% outta here…we’re all dead!  That’s what was echoing in my brain while I was barely pre-hypothermic at the top of a 12-mile single track descent on the Colorado Trail above Durango. It was October 4th and just above freezing, and we were in a cloud that was dosing out an awesome mixture … Continue reading →

Some call it Mecca.  Many claim it as the true birthplace of mountain biking.  The “repack” crew from Marin California traveled here for the first documented epic bicycle trail rides.  And why wouldn’t they?  This sleepy little mountain town is surrounded by endless trails in every direction. It’s for these reasons that Crested Butte is … Continue reading →

Perhaps the most difficult climb in Pisgah National Forest is the Black Mtn. Trail outside of Brevard, NC. We hope to show that long travel bikes can really climb when captained by an experienced rider. This video was shot by Kris K (on foot) following Matt J. on his Maverick ML8. Notice the snow-capped mountains … Continue reading →

Perhaps the most famous trail in Pisgah N.F., Laurel Mtn Trail offers a 7-mile climb away from the heat of the summer into the highlands of NC. The chilled out music from Built to Spill echoes the tranquility of backcountry mtn biking felt by BioWheels riders. Ahhh…

At almost 40 years old, the guys from BioWheels are just getting into their prime!

We are blessed to have so much forest in North Carolina. So when we ride in exposed conditions, it is rare. Callum & I put together a ride on a combination of public & private land near one of our big mountains. We were blown away by the views, and nearly by a late afternoon storm. … Continue reading →

Something deep inside my soul stirs once Autumnal Equinox passes. Chilly nights are back, and mountain bike soul riding season is just beginning. Remember riding for 4 hours with hardly a bead of sweat? How about cool mountain breezes conditioning your chamois? Well those days are here. The trails are in perfect shape. If you … Continue reading →

BioWheels Race team member, John Godts, recently returned from the trip of a lifetime in both splendor & difficulty. There is a challenge organized by a French bicycle club (actually, a brotherhood) next to Mount Ventoux. They say, “It is normal for a bike rider to try to climb Mont Ventoux at least once in … Continue reading →

If you are looking for an excellent beach vacation, and want to give your car a rest, we recommend Cape Cod to anybody.  After the long drive the Cape, we were very pleased to find that we could leave our car behind for our entire stay. Mass. has invested heavily in their bike lanes. Underpasses, well-marked … Continue reading →
