Still exploring.

I'm a middle-aged, average cyclist living in North County San Diego. I started this channel to document the gravel roads, fire roads, trails, and questionable connectors I find across the county.

These aren't race reports or pro-level route guides. They're honest looks at rides from an everyday cyclist—what the terrain is really like, how hard the climbs feel, and whether the route is worth riding. Every video is paired with the route so you can explore it for yourself.
