Favorite Rides Offers Ideas
Rider's logo for Favorite Rides & Destinations
If you subscribe to Rider magazine as I do, you probably already know this. If not, then here you go.
An email told me this morning that Rider has created a new online offshoot they have named “Favorite Rides & Destinations,” which is essentially a re-purposing of articles they have published in the magazine. A conveniently collected grouping of stories by a variety of riders about some of the best rides they have done. Just in case you’re looking for ideas as to where to ride.
Looking through the pieces in this first issue I was particularly interested to see one titled “Wild Texas: A Winter Ride To Big Bend.” This was apparently in the May 2013 issue, though I don’t remember it. But I’m interested now because Judy and I are planning a trip to Big Bend in the next few weeks. How very opportune.
So maybe you’re planning a trip to one of these places. Always good to do a little research before you go. Here’s what this first issue includes:
- Arkansas
- Salt Lake City to Las Vegas
- Vermont
- Texas
- Blue Ridge Parkway
- Catskills area
- South Dakota
This online publication appears to be intended as a quarterly edition. The first one is labeled “Spring 2016.” And of course I’m going to be very interested to see what they include in future editions. I’ve had a couple ride pieces published by Rider and I’d certainly be tickled to see them use one or the other of those. Not that they would be paying me anything more for doing so; when you sell them a piece it’s right there in the contract that they have the right to use it again elsewhere as they see fit. I’d just like to have them see fit to use my stuff.

A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment, and is designed for the special use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils, and lunatics.
