Bob McCallum

Bob McCallum recently set out on an epic ride, starting in the pine-scented heights of Flagstaff and tracing the rugged length of the Arizona Trail. From there, he connected seamlessly with the vast Chihuahuan Desert Loop — a demanding 256-mile circuit that winds through the historic towns of Tombstone and Douglas, then slips over the state line into Animas and Rodeo, New Mexico. Along the way, Bob braved everything from rocky canyons to wide-open desert plains, all under the endless Southwestern sky. True to his generous spirit, he shared a stunning collection of photos from his journey, offering a glimpse into the landscapes and small towns that shaped his adventure. Some of the images, he noted, were taken during a similar ride he completed the year before, capturing the subtle changes of the seasons across the desert terrain.

Beyond his travels, Bob keeps a lively blog on his website, where he dives deep into the highs, lows, and random musings of life on two wheels. His posts range from detailed gear breakdowns to humorous accounts of desert misadventures and philosophical reflections on solitude and endurance. In true Bob fashion, no post is complete without a few good-natured tangents — whether it's a critique of convenience store coffee or a memory sparked by an old trail marker. For those who love long rides, tall tales, and the spirit of the open road, Bob’s site is a must-visit — a place where adventure doesn't end at the trailhead.
