Mountain Flyer Magazine Number 66 Zurück Ausgabe

How many ways has mountain biking helped you find your place in the world, whether within a geographic backdrop or a more complex social and emotional landscape? Exploring on two wheels in nature may lead to getting lost at times. But the stories, imagery and original artwork in the autumn issue (No. 66) of Mountain Flyer highlight how riding bikes can help us find a path through the woods and through life. Learn about the crazy outings and adventure-inspired artwork of underground legend Jon Bailey. Writer/photographer Mary McIntyre returns to Zanskar, deep in the Himalaya, for one last ride on the ancient footpaths that connect the Buddhist Kingdom’s isolated villages. In the photo essay “Fifty Six Twenty,” photographer Ryan Creary shows what it’s like to navigate the 5,620-foot vertical drop of North America’s longest flow trail. And cartographer Mike Hermann, founder/owner of Pennsylvania’s Purple Lizard Maps, explains how adventure begins with a paper map.
