Here's what my mountain bike trips are really like

This is our attempt at a travel vlog, I hope you like it! So many awesome people came by the booth at Sedona Mountain Bike Festival, and I got a lot of the same questions: "Did you get the chance to ride South Mountain?" "Did you get up to Flagstaff?". The real question is, did I get to sleep or eat? Hopefully this gives you an entertaining behind the scenes of what really goes down.
Even with my trips being such a blur, it's still a huge privilege to get to do this for a living, and I owe it to all of you. Someday when I'm retired, I'll visit all these destinations and actually ride mountain bikes!

[@Allofthemonkeys]

I used to be a cop in Sedona. Seeing you ride that road reminded me of the time my Sergeant and I had to take care of a dead javalina. We took it outside of town on one of the dirt roads and tossed it down the hill into the brush. We thought that a coyote would take care of it. Instead it rolled all the way down the hill to a trail and scared a group of hikers. It was a funny chewing out from the Lieutenant.
