Route snapshots
Short, practical route cards: difficulty, distance, surface, shade, water, bail-out points, and one reason the ride is worth it.
Mountain bike days · red dirt · canyon light
A public demo concept for Shawn Rides — part ride journal, part trail guide, part recommendation loop for the spots and stops that actually land.
What this could become
Use this as a simple public landing page for ride recaps, MTB itinerary ideas, gear notes, route cards, and Shawn-tested stops like the canyon and potato recommendations that worked.
Built around the start photo set: a smiling rider, rugged desert trail, and enough visual momentum to make the page feel like the first mile of a good day.
Ride deck
Short, practical route cards: difficulty, distance, surface, shade, water, bail-out points, and one reason the ride is worth it.
Capture the places that hit: food, scenic pull-offs, coffee, recovery meals, and the little recommendations worth repeating.
Quick prep lists for desert loops, shoulder-season rides, bike park days, and family-friendly exploratory runs.
Auto-sync activities, import GPX/TCX, overlay routes on maps, and surface personal stats — elevation, pace, heart rate, segment efforts — right in the ride deck.
Field notes
“Canyon and potato were great recommendations.”
That is the whole thesis: ride, test, remember what worked, and make the next outing easier to choose.
Demo mode
This first pass is intentionally lightweight: static HTML/CSS/JS, fast to host, easy to replace photos, and ready for route data, posts, or a map layer later.
