RC from the Outdoor Gold YouTube channel is a great guy. His channel's content is primarily mountain bike oriented, however, that wasn't ..... and still isn't the goal.

Last year when I met Tess and Steve from Dusty Betty I didn't know that I was going to have the best ride of the year with them. When I say best ride, it's not always the terrain, or the views, it's the people. The two of them are super cool, laid back, and cherish the same type of riding I do. Aside from that they live in a 25' trailer traveling around the US chasing 70 degree weather. Raising thier daughter, riding mountain bikes, and making YouTube content. ►Featured Links http://bit.ly/2PTng...
