Traversing the Nevados with this group was a wonderful way to end 2018. Thanks @francopaulaandrea1 for wanting to do this one again. . . . #losnevados #colombia #hiking #getoutside #happynewyear2019 (at Los Nevados National Natural Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsEA_CdHoiM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tk6eeqr9yjg0

We found a new place to play tejo today! They serve food and beer and are an easy bus ride away! I played my best game ever — even scored 9 points in one throw! Love those explosions!

Glad we could do this hike one more time. With an avocado farm being put in in the middle of the route, part of it will now be closed. :( #hike #getoutside #colombia (at Manizales, Caldas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpulanBH1kk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vxo5rrmkzjdd

We spent last night in Barra Norte watching Once Caldas play Nacional. Final: 2-2. It was an exciting night to say the least. #oncecaldas #manizales (at Estadio Palogrande) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpYL6TuH9vF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=57hxhhkekqyk

Managed to get out to the @Colertrails today before the rain. It will be nice to come back in the future with more time and better knowledge of the trails. (at Bentonville, Arkansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo4ixXaHZVt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tha02hubatwi

I have been enjoying the @oztrailsnwa in Bentonville and Bella Vista the last couple of days. Yesterday’s weather and the trails are why I wanted to spend my October break here. I hope tomorrow’s weather allows me one more day of riding. Thanks to @phattirebikeshop (especially Nate) for helping me out with some mechanical issues before I headed out. #fallmtb #mtb (at Bentonville, Arkansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo2B9h9nndn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e5t92x31ybyj
