Desert Grit: The Megalith vs. Nacapule I had that itch to ride that just wouldn't quit. Even though I came up a few feet shy of a clean 10-mile "ego number," I logged a solid 9.54 miles from the house to Nacapule and back. The highlight? Ripping back through that "downhill-ish" singletrack. It’s hands down my favorite stretch of the trail system I’ve explored so far....]]></description><link>https://www.tetakawiadventures.com/post/nacapule-ing</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e813cb8b2f11ff8e5a8896</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 Apr 2026 00:27:17 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://video.wixstatic.com/video/eea8c8_0978bef2e62b4424a0ca20595b32843a/1080p/mp4/file.mp4" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>Ernesto Martinez-Ordaz</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Tetakawi Climbs]]></title><description><![CDATA[Saturday, April  4th, in the middle of the Semana Santa (spring break) halabaloo, I climbed up Tetakawi with Kuma for the 11th time. This time there was a Red Cross “filter” at the trailhead, preventing people with hangovers from climbing.  The Red Cross guy asked me if I was hungover (no), if I had water (three big Nalgene bottles), if I had eaten breakfast (spinach and almond milk shake), and if I had gone to the bathroom (#1 and #2 all set). He had me fill out a form and told me to expect...]]></description><link>https://www.tetakawiadventures.com/post/the-tetakawi-climbs</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69dfbde947c3def1fff03545</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 16:43:10 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/eea8c8_dea4365120d54296b92db9ecf1f89f21~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ernesto Martinez-Ordaz</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Saturday beach ride]]></title><description><![CDATA[Riding in San Carlos is a blast. Road or gravel? Sure, they have their place. But for my money, taking a fat bike over a full-suspension rig is the way to go. Those massive tires just own the terrain. Since I’m not in the racing circuit anymore, I’m out here for two things: fitness and fun. Mostly the fun. The Gear List Before hitting the sand, I had to dial in the setup: PSI Science:  I rode out at 20 PSI for the pavement. Once I hit the beach, I dropped the Presta valves to about 5 PSI by...]]></description><link>https://www.tetakawiadventures.com/post/saturday-beach-ride</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a4fc22fe2730c0413291dd</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Mar 2026 02:52:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/eea8c8_c4d17cb312724f40b0adaeba8f86570c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ernesto Martinez-Ordaz</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Four-Legged AWD: Kuma Takes on the Tetakawi]]></title><description><![CDATA[In San Carlos, there’s a difference between a hike and a climb. Most people find that out the hard way. I’ve been hunkered down here since late February, and while the town has its charms, the mountain is what calls. And where I go, Kuma goes. Kuma isn’t new to the game. He’s a veteran of the Montana backcountry—we’ve tackled Great House Peak in the Big Snowies , Upper Basin Lake , and the steep stretches around Red Lodge. He’s put in the miles from the open range of the Acton Rec Area to the...]]></description><link>https://www.tetakawiadventures.com/post/four-legged-awd-kuma-takes-on-the-tetakawi</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a0817edd752dedab922812</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2026 17:40:17 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/eea8c8_d676559c887c420ca087eeb30b598713~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ernesto Martinez-Ordaz</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fat bike in San Carlos]]></title><description><![CDATA[¡Hola amigos! I’ve been living in San Carlos, Sonora, since last February (more about why I am here later), and honestly, swapping the Chicago skyline for the jagged peaks of the Tetakawi was the best "personal reason" move I’ve ever made. Back in Illinois, I was fighting Lake Michigan headwinds and dodging potholes on the street and urban commutes. Now? I’m 1.5 miles from some of the most rugged, soul-cleansing terrain on the planet, and I’m doing it all on my State St. Megalith. But do...]]></description><link>https://www.tetakawiadventures.com/post/a-fat-bike-in-san-carlos</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6998ad03f63bd550f09f9eb2</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2026 23:40:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://video.wixstatic.com/video/eea8c8_0a8ac96895674269bfa17a6f178a243c/1080p/mp4/file.mp4" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>Ernesto Martinez-Ordaz</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
