After this interview, I want and need to go visit Pueblo, Colorado! Full of scenic views, riverfront, and interesting history, it is also home to 45 MILES of singletrack!

He also bikepacks and has been working with his young daughter to enjoy the bike as much as he does. Great interview with Adam about Pueblo, bikepacking, singletrack, and good parenting!
