Orogenesis Trail Association · My City

7,300 kilometers. Poking holes in two international borders. Over 30% singletrack, less than 10% pavement. One metric $#%@ ton of bushwhacking. Thus far Orogenesis is an ambitious pipe dream. A collective murmur that's getting louder. What if we could travel across the north american continent on singletrack trails? It turns out there are a lot of trails out there. Or there were—but they're slowly being forgotten. We want your help to find them again. It won't be easy. At all. Our only requirements are humility and fortitude.

Most of this route is more theoretical than literal. It's inspiring, but often times non-existent. Or it's really steep and hot or cold and raining or full of dead ends and no water or ice cream anywhere in sight. So, if you're interested in riding it you must be a really special type of person. Or dumb. Or both. The only guarantees we can make is that you WILL get lost, turned around, hungry, chased by wild boars, grilled by border patrol, and angry at us. We don't care. You signed up for this.

Yours truly, the Orogenesis Collective
