Life’s been busy here and I only just recently got to dig into my photos from the ride. I have also written an article that’ll hopefully publish soon, and you can see my full set of photos from the ride on my Google photos album.

Some highlight photos from the 2025 Stagecoach 400. This year’s event was marked by great weather, strong riding, and Meg’s new Figure 8 course, which brought some new challenges & rewards, and stretched out the mileage to 400 miles again.

The Stagecoach400 Sideshow took off from Idyllwild this morning with about 11 riders on the “Classic” clockwise loop of the route. The weather forecast looks great for riding in every corner of the route. #bikepacking #stagecoach400 @bikepackingcom.bsky.social @eskercycles.bsky.social
