Unless you live in a place where your town or city is the trailhead then it usually means loading up your bike and driving somewhere to ride. Even then, for those of you with access to world-class trails right outside your front door sooner or later they can become a little stale and you hunger and thirst for new trails elsewhere.

It's a never-ending quest. Our appetites are never satiated ... nor should they be. We long for a diversity of trails and experiences on our bikes. With an endless variety of trails it pushes us to be better riders ... from lush loamy trails to granite slabs to cactus-choked trails to rock-strewn trails to machine-groomed berms and everything in between. Each trail forces us to improvise, adapt, and learn new skills. More than that, we experience so much more of this crazy big world around us.

And that's the point. New experiences. New adventures. New memories. Even the most mundane trip two hours away or that one adventure where you spent more time walking your bike back to the trailhead than riding because you blew out your tire (and couldn't fix it) are still worth having. We are wanderers ... travelers ... hungering for new adventures and opportunities.

Coffee then becomes an accessory ... a complement to getting out, exploring, wandering, and adventuring. Whether you're brewing a cup at home with a french press before you hit the road or brewing coffee for you and you friends with an aeropress at the trailhead we're here to help you get out and do more.

With the weekend here make the most of it! It doesn't matter if you hit your local trail or drive deep into the backwoods to ride a new trail your friends told you about get out and have fun!
