Kingdom Trails, East Burke Vermont: Bomb

Kingdom Trails, in East Burke VT (LINK) is EPIC. Just got back from a trip there. It's closer to Montreal than it is to just about anything in America, but it doesn't mean it's any less of an American Classic. How this has remained under the radar from those dumb "Top 10 Getaway" lists baffles me. But i think it has, and let me be the first to say, this is a great weekend getaway. Combine good trails with some other good things, and you have the makings of a good time. So if you're on the east coast, and have a craving to dine on some of vermonts finest mud pies, than this is your place.

Day 6 of the Tour Divide: Bomb.

I bombed the Tour Divide race a few weeks ago. These mad-men race from Banff, Alberta to Antelope Wells, New Mexico through the Rocky Mountains. My friend Isaac works with John Nobile, who won this race and is racing it again, he is a BAMF! Well, they are 6 days into the race and over 400 miles deep. Matt Lee is currently leading by about 25 miles. Bombthings Warning: following this race may inspire you to do wildly athletic and humbling things that will take over your life. This race is bomb.
