The North Shore is the motherland of modern mountain biking. We went back to our roots this autumn to meet legendary trailbuilder Todd “Digger” Fiander.

Before #VanLife was a thing, we lived it, not knowing any better. I had a 1985 Chevy K-5 Blazer with the back seat removed and stored under the stairs at a random Valley condo, Chris had a VW Vanagon with a bed built into it, and Doug, well, Doug had a tent.

Rapha’s newest Mountain Biking collection is worth every penny, the cut, the fit, the fabric, the feel, everything hits. While riding in the hot midwest summers, this Technical T-shirt keeps you cool and dry with room to move in fast technical sections.

Coler Mountain Bike Preserve is built on land designated as a mountain bike preserve about a mile west of downtown Bentonville. Although you might think you are in the backcountry of the Ozarks while riding Coler, the trails are actually located about two miles west of downtown Bentonville.
