Many of us have or had the desire to ride across the US on a bike, but Michael Addison wanted a little more out of his cross country ride. Beer. Last Summer Michael set off from San Francisco to New York city and made plans to stop at craft breweries along the way. The trailer above gives a bit of a tease to the adventure, but for more check out Michael’s Youtube channel for individual videos at the breweries!

UNITED KINGDOM OF DIRT

Great Britain is famous for its gardens and its greenery but you won’t see much of that in this series. Instead Olly Wilkins, Brendan Fairclough, and some of the UK’s best MTB riders are taking you on a dirt-based tour around the Kingdom. Along the way they will be stopping off to ride the choicest trails and dirt jumps that their filthy little island has to offer while showcasing the personalities and performances that make the scene unique. Put on an old pair of jeans and some work boots, you’re about to enter the United Kingdom of Dirt.

We don’t exactly see Afghanistan as a big riding destination, but Matt Hunter knows how to find good trails.

MATT HUNTER NEEDED A SERIOUS BIKE TO RIDE AFGHANISTAN, HERE’S WHAT HE CHOSE | GEAR GEEK

Matt Hunter just finished a grueling, 12-day expedition mountain biking over some of the roughest roads in Afghanistan. Every day he spent 10 to 12 hours taking his ride over any and all types of terrain, from mountains and deserts to high-altitude snow fields. Naturally, he needed a bike that was as strong and reliable as it was high-performance. What he assembled was a very tricked out piece of machinery. If you’ve got a big expedition coming up you might want to take notes. You’ve got 12 Days to Ride the Length of Afghanistan, Pick Your Bike | Gear Geek
