Great Places To Ride Your Bike In Idaho

Downhill Racing Bike Image

The Idaho mountains are a wonderful place to go for a biking adventure, and with 19,000+ miles of trails to choose from, there are trails for beginners and experienced riders alike. The best time to bike in Idaho is during summer and fall, because the spring is too wet and muddy and the hard winters make biking nearly impossible. But it’s worth the wait until early summer because the views are fantastic and the trails are awesome.

The Mink Creek Recreation Area near Pocatello has an 11-mile loop called the Valve or Pump House trail. This is a great place for beginners to hone their skills. Theres nothing too technical here, but it will test your endurance. Bring plenty of water.

Wright Comes Back To Conquer Champery

Written by | Tuesday, 04 October 2011

Downhill Racing Bike Image

Christian Wright faced the downhill mountain bike course in Champrey, Switzerland for the second time last month. 51 seconds, at the USA Cycling Mountain Bike Gravity National Championships, held Sept. Wright’s father-turned-mechanic, Clark Wright, said seeing his son conquer Champery was a proud moment. Christiansen is among those in the community who have ridden with Christian and watched him grow up. The Wrights moved to Auburn from Granite Bay to be closer to trails in the American River Canyon, where Christian enjoys practicing. He’s slated to compete in downhill, dual slalom, dirt jumping and freestyle. “His family is the most supportive of any family of any of the riders I have seen,” said Bicycle Emporium Manger Curtis Christiansen. This year, he left in triumph as the fastest American junior rider to finish the course. That is just one milestone Wright, 18, of Auburn, has lived to tell about this year.
