Terrain varies from flat paved trails to epic mountain challenges. The bonus is all rides found within 75 Classic Rides also come with FREE downloadable ride cue sheets for each trip.

Full narrative descriptions tell what sights to expect, best towns for food or a cup of coffee, safety info on road shoulders and bike lanes, as well as turn-by-turn descriptions and mileage logs.

Cotopaxi for Canines: Brand Turns Leftover Fabrics Into Limited-Edition Pet Collection
  For international travel and outdoor adventures, Cotopaxis gear remains extremely popular. These days, it seems impossible to visit an airport or hiking trail without seeing somebody sporting the Salt Lake City brands conspicuous patchwork of bright colors, usually as a pack or jacket.   Its rare, however, for the brand to dip its paws into the world of pet gear. So...
The Wildest Spot in the Lower 48?
  Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks grab the headlines, but when it comes to raw nature, the jewel of Montana is the 1 million-acre Bob Marshall Wilderness. “The Bob,” as it’s affectionately called, was named for legendary conservationist Bob Marshall, who cofounded the Wilderness Society. No paved roads bisect The Bob, an area larger than Rhode Island, making it a vast...
Outdoor Brands Doubling Down on Used Gear to Offset Tariffs, Consumer Sentiment
  This summer, Utah-based DPS Skis launched an eyebrow-raising expansion of its resale program. Instead of just repairing its own skis for online credit, the small company will now issue credits for a used ski of any brand.   Its rare for brands to repair products from competitors — especially in the ski industry. Moreover, DPSs expanded repair program is unlikely to...
Skip the Camino de Santiago Crowds: 5 Alternative Routes on Spain’s Beloved Thru-Hike
  There is perhaps no more iconic trail in all of Europe than Spains Camino de Santiago. This centuries-old route was once a religious pilgrimage, and has become a popular adventure thru-hike in modern times.

The Gear PCT Thru-Hikers Are Loving (And Ditching) This Year
  It isn’t that hard to find them in town. Thru-hikers are predictable — more animal-like in behavior than town and city folk. Burger stands are typical spotting grounds. Any cheap motel with the door wide open and sink-washed laundry on the railing is a likely habitat. Natural shade lures them in.   But the annual PCT Days is a next-level draw...
Car Shopping? Now You Can eBay It: ‘Secure Purchase’ Promises All You Need, No DMV
  The joys of buying a new car often give way to the many headaches of … actually buying the car. Negotiating price, pinning down financing, and navigating the worlds of tax, title, and license all take a bite out of the fun of finding your next vehicle.   While the days of plaid-suited used car salesmen and balloon-addled new car showrooms still...
The Best Bow Cases of 2025
  A bow case is a gear item that I think gets neglected, which is a shame. We invest so much into our bows and the fancy accessories we slap on them. To ignore their safe transport is to neglect their overall well-being and longevity of functionality.   Whether traveling to hunt in my home state or crossing state lines, I’ve done...
The Jeep Cherokee Is Back
  The 2026 Jeep Cherokee gets a much more modern look while maintaining visual ties to its past. It also debuts with a first-ever hybrid engine, promised to deliver as much as 500 miles on a tank of gas.   Struggling to get its balance back after suffering a series of self-inflicted wounds, Jeep is about to fill what has been a...
$30 Raffle Ticket Could Land You a One-of-a-Kind Gravel Bike, and Helps Repair National Forest
  If youve never visited Pisgah National Forest outside of Asheville, N.C., youre missing out on a special place. With rich offerings of hiking, camping, and cycling, its beloved by locals for good reason.   But maintaining such a wealth of outdoor recreation isnt cheap —especially after the widespread damage caused by Hurricane Helene last year.   Luckily, a new nonprofit emerged just...
The Best Broadheads for Hunting in 2025
  Picking the right broadhead for hunting season is like picking a hunting partner…at least on the trust bit. Trust is a must.   Bowhunting involves an unthinkable amount of variables. Some of them we can control, and others we can’t. What broadhead you screw on your arrow is something you can and should take seriously before heading afield.   Spending year after...
John Muir Trail FKT: Ultrarunner Fights Hallucinations to Beat Record by 8 Minutes
  In her effort to set a new FKT on the John Muir Trail, Caroline Himbert suffered painful blisters, an injured knee, and hallucinations so intense her team almost called for rescue. For all that effort, she earned an FKT just 8 minutes faster than the previous unsupported record for women.   Does she think it was worth it? You betcha. And...
