Great work, Marc! Thanks for outlining your tips and so inspired by your results.

That's a big weight drop, I bet you feel like a whole different person. I fluctuate about 8 lbs seasonally, and even that makes a big difference. I appreciate you sharing this. I'm roughly your age, and I enjoy hearing other peoples stories like this. Seems we all have some war stories and epiphanies accompanying them. A few years ago, I started eating sardines. If you're not accustomed to them, it' a mental leap to warm up to them, but they are sooo beneficial. Tons of protein and omega 3, and they fill you up and make it super easy to not snack because your hunger is satisfied for so long. I don't mean to be preachy, but they have been a revelation for me. Anyway, thanks for your enjoyable, and pertinent (to me) content.

You are an inspiration to being proactive and taking responsibility for making an impact on your health. Changes more apt to become a lifestyle vs depriving yourself and always struggling. Thank you for sharing a story that could impact many lives that need a little support along the way. Keep up the good work.

Marc - you offer some great insight & brilliant commentary! Nicely done - my family & I enjoyed Surry Hill because of your preview video!

Fantastic idea of content and oh so inspiring! Very well done Marc. You can absolutely be proud of yourself. Awesome to hear about your wife’s support as well. Thanks for sharing with us. Way to go!!!

ruclips.net/channel/UCq90f3r3jlTLhwNIsrDtVqg Join me as I pedal through the twists and turns of my life-changing quest. The hook? My ride weight dropped by a whopping 13%! But here’s the real twist: It’s not about shedding grams off my bike; it’s about shedding pounds off my body.

I've got a '13 Chevy Volt with a Rocky Mount's hitch rack plugged into a receiver bolted in behind my license plate. That has the rack and bike pretty high off the ground. It's a solid rack, the bike is secure, but when taking my bike anywhere my Volt's aero approach to life is shot: Gas mileage drops 27%. That almost turns Volt into a muggle car! My next move will be to remove the front wheel, fold down one or two back seats, slide the frame, and rear wheel in sideways, then back fill with our luggage and the front wheel. Not sure there's enough room in the hatch. If not, I'll have to get by with lower mileage. I'll have to see if my frame, 29" rear wheel, and seat lowered with the dropper post, can stand upright in that downward facing dog thing you've got there. I like the idea that there are brackets for holding the fork and frame in place with a through axle. First thing's first, do I have sufficient clearance in the batchback??? Thanks. Great video.

Great video! I'll be checking this trail system out tomorrow. This video is super helpful.

I've been biking at the Reservoir this summer and didn't know about Rocks and Crafts. Did it just get added to Trailforks? I see it on the maps now, but just don't recall it. Thanks for the video; I'll pop over from Belgrade to check it out soon.

ruclips.net/channel/UCq90f3r3jlTLhwNIsrDtVqg New #mtb Trail! Come check out Rocks & Crafts and the new for 2024 extension to this great beginner-friendly trail. You can access from the Hallowell Reservoir in Hallowell, Maine.

This looks like a nice place to ride, will have to try to get up there someday, thanks for sharing

What a neat oppertunity!😊

Personally i hate skinny wooden features. flow trails are for me i like climbing hills also mt appetite is great definitely checking this place out Thanks

Love this!

Friggin love these trails!! Watch out for 2025, there will be some skills clinics by Dynamic Cycling Adventures!

Love the innovation. I do something similar when I ride with my two sons. Two bikes go on my Thule (2bike flat rack), and the other bike goes in the back on the driver's side. In my case, I use a Yakima thru-bolt adapter that I had on hand, which is bolted to a 24" 2X3. When I need this setup, I put the bike on this "board mount" on the ground and then lower the bike seat. This makes it easy to put this setup into my 4Runner once the rear seat on the driver's side is folded down. Once the bike is rolled in, I make sure the handle bars clear the rear hatch and then loop a bungee cord around the handlebar stem and then attach to the rear D-rings (I use 2 bungees typically). This keeps the bike from dancing around. Next I drape the front tire in an old car wash towel and place the tire between the bike and the driver's side wheel well. I then place another rolled up towel in between to keep it from moving. This has worked well for me for a single bike "in-the-back" carry set up when transporting bikes on Paved Roads. Off road would require more tie-downs. I'll also use this setup sometimes if I'm going solo for more security or if the weather dictates. However you do it - Do It - and ride as much as possible ;>}

The trail looks fun

i always put my mountain bike in my camaro by keeping the front wheel vertical. never a problem. no set up needed.

Lol I do the same thing in a Honda Fit

I’m jealous. Looks like a perfect day

I’d go with a hitch mount to prevent the front wheel removal , which is much easier and less time consuming

Nice setup. I have a sequoia and kinda do the same thing. It allows my bike, without the front wheel, to roll in and have clearance without a dropper post.

I do it similarly, but I use an old bike-tite that I secure to each side d-rings with some cord. I then attach a strap from the forward d-ring to the fork clamp to hold it in place and pull forward slightly so not to be near the hatch. I do this on the driver's side. And to be real secure if going for an off-roading trip as well I secure the rear wheel by a loop of some strap attached to the folded headrest and a toe clip strap from that loop to the rim. The front wheel I simply place on top of my gear to the side. Keeps things flush to the left side, safe inside for the most part and can stow a week worth of gear as well. One could fit a couple of bikes and some gear this way as well with another fork mount. I use a non-angled fork mount.

Might have to look into something like this for my Ascent... I'm fine loading my one bike in there.. But would like to be able to load both mine and my daughters... So will look at something along these lines... Thanks you for the idea...

Whoa! Those S turns are wild! 😮😮😮😮😮

We'll be there in two days!! Where did you park to start this ride? Trailforks isn't showing any parking info. Thanks.

I used a Tahoe and raced all over the country with a similar setup. When I bought it I took my bike with me to be sure it would fit without lowering my seat. It did but barely. Dropper posts should make for more cars that can fit the bill.

Kind of a cool set up, although if you could adapt that to also fit on your roof, so you could use your truck for the camping gear or some thing that would really upgrade its usefulness.

I am glad you enjoyed the zone 2 trails! The directional trails were/are being built by Maine Trail Builders. Bootlegger was built by Graves Trail building. We just opened Stoker, a directional cross country trail that I think you'll like! FYI: all the drops on Blast pipe have ride arounds. Firebox, Hot Rail and Blast pipe have some steep sections.

Thanks for sharing! I'll have to try and get up there this season.

Yikes! I'd rather be biking than all the hassle this engenders. For my Tacoma ( with a 6 foot bed, not the sandbox one) I simply slide the bike in and bungle it down. For my Subaru Forester it slips in the back with the rear seats down. Simple and cheap.

Nice! Thank you for sharing.

Looks so peaceful.

Great job

Great set up, I personally use a custom made bike rack that slots into the tow bar square hole - also fits my penny farthing - video on my channel 😊

Use to have a Dodge Grand Caravan with stow-n-go. Didn’t have to remove the wheels. Used the interior grab bars for securing the bikes. Sometimes using a car clothes hanging bar if we had more then 2 bikes.

Super cool rocks!

I'm surprised you can't just lay the bike on its side with the front wheel in place. I can do this on my Honda FIT with the rear seats folded down.
