Mountain Biking in Todos Santos
Nice article about the Todos Santos mountain biking scene and the local bike shop:

"But there were complications. Things didn't work out".
Knowing how things can go awry down here, I was wondering about that brief statement. How did things go at The Hub for other businesses, you folks
from TS?
A fine article.
Usually, a writer will populate a story with pics of the most scenic portions that a ride has to offer. I was a bit disappointed in the scenery shots
in this one. It's been many years since I've been in Todos Santos. I always assumed the hills had more vegetation; being in such proximity to the
tropics. Looks a lot like the scrub/chaparral belt in coastal California, only with fewer trees.
Gotta get out some pics of our MTB trails in our area of central coastal Sonora. Certainly a desert more on the lush side. Great trails! Almost all on
Trailforks, if people are interested. We added about three new trails this year and partially completed another two. Most all are rated beginner, with
a few intermediates, here and there.

On our trails, ABSOLUTELY!! Many Rad Rovers, Specialized, Treks, Haibikes, Rad Minis over here. You will see the non-motorized Pivots and Santa Cruz
bikes, as well.
I have a 2019 Rad Rover down here, right now. My wife takes all the single tracks on her Rad City Step-Thru even. She just walks up the baddest
inclines. But she airs down and does OK in the washes.

What a great story, the auto play video was slick. No old growth, tree hazards or mud but pretty nice vistas I'd say.
e- bikes. Apart from admiring the tech while cursing at them silently on uphill climbs the quiet can be startling while being passed as you get no
warning the robobike is behind you.

Yeah, I dont understand those who think they are loud. My 4.8" Maxxis Minions make way more noise than the motor.

OTE, sweet, I know these folks from riding around Fruita several times. Troy builds some very fun trails. LOTS of Rabbit Valley action for us (located
on the CO/UT border).
