They found the "Zero History" series and now there is a twink-ified Hubertus Hendrik Bigend and Milgrim.

Here is a recap of my New Mexico and Texass journey that we did last couple of weeks. We left from Fayetteville and stopped in Canyon, TX to ride Palo Duro Canyon and then made our way through Cloudcroft, NM to see a good friend of mine that has some cabins in Cloudcroft and owns Desert Pepper Company, a salsa company that sells all over the world. Cloudcroft is a really cool mountain town sitting at over 10,000 ft. The mountain biking is on point! Check out the trails here - http://bit.ly/1iPfRHo

The town has everything you need, 1 bar, some good grub spots and a really cool outdoor/bike shop called High Altitude.

We stopped at White Sands National Park before making our way to El Paso, TX! This place has massive white sand dunes that you can board and sled down. It's a site you've gotta see.  Mi familia is from El Paso and did that gig for the weekend. The Franklin Mountains for trail riding are amazing, but Easter beer and food kept me from hitting these up. 

On down to Big Bend we stopped at this natural spring fed pool called Balmorhea. When the desert temps get hot, this is an oasis of perfect temp water.  

Next stop, was the famed Marfa, TX. This place does live up to the hype.  One time cattle ranch trading town, is now an off the grid hub for artists, musicians, & creatives. It's one of the last stops you'll make before heading into the National Park. I'd recommend spending a night or couple of hours in this place. We were able to catch a free show at a place called Padres and see one of my favorite bands, Future Islands. Check them out here:

To hit the trails around Marfa, TX you'll want to check out Ft. Davis. It's not a crazy amount of single track mileage, but will give you a taste of what's to come before going into Big Bend. 

Where to start......? Big Bend National Park will keep any adventure seeker busy for weeks from floating the Rio Grande, Trails, Hot Springs, & Tequila. It's a site to see.

The place to ride down in Big Bend is the IMBA Epic trail system. For info check it out here. https://www.imba.com/epics/fresno-sauceda-loop
