Gravel, bikepacking, and a town worth riding.

The Black Hills are some of the best riding in the country and most people don't know it yet. I ride them, and I help make them easier for everyone else to ride too.

The Work

Stone Bicycle Coalition

A western–South Dakota co-op working to make Rapid City and the Hills better places to get around on two wheels — advocacy, events, and the slow work of building bike culture where there wasn't much.

Long days on dirt — the Grasslands, the Hills, and the occasional foolish overnight loop. Ride logs and routes live on my bikepacking microsite.

North-country dirt, big sky.

The closer, on the edge of the Badlands.
