Barber Hills Hard Labor
Hard labor was a well suited name for this race. Yet another weekend filled with muddy riding.
Never ridden in the mud? Think sand, but slippery and it stays on your bike making it heavier and harder to pedal. None the less the rider went to battle with the elements, and so did I.

2024 Bluff Creek Ranch, Wrangle in Warda Pre-Ride
New video!
We sent two of the NICA student advisory cabinet members, Thomas and Noah out for a course pre-ride and jumped in on the fun! This is the best commentary on this side of the barbed wire! Yes, the trails were terribly muddy - The Texas MTB League wound up cutting out much of the course to help preserve as much trail as they could and also got a group together to help fix the trails the following weekend.

What’s in the Bag?
If there’s one thing that all photographers have in common - whether you’re into action sports or portraits, hobbyist or pro - it’s an addiction to our gear. In the same way that having the right bike for the right trail can drastically change the way you ride that trail, having the right camera gear for the job can mean the difference between taking a couple of good shots and leaving with an SD card or two full of great photos.

It’s Me Again, Margaret.
When you read that title, I bet you heard the voice of Ray Stevens in your mind. Moreover, I’d be willing to bet that somewhere in your brain, you were taken back to a specific moment in your life when you listened to the song. Maybe you were in the car with your dad or cruising through the streets with your friends in the middle of the night. having entirely too much fun mimicking Ray Stevens’ raspy laugh as Willard McBane torments poor Margaret.
A Change of Scenery at Angel Fire
For almost as long as I have been mountain biking, and especially since I started photography, I have been determined to one day explore the Angel Fire Bike Park. This year, I was finally able to make that dream a reality and loaded up my bike, my camera, and all my camping gear to make the ten-hour drive to the MTB wonderland.
DFW Series Racing
Who doesn’t love the excitement of race day? The rush of adrenaline, the anticipation of testing your skills against other racers, and the satisfaction of seeing all your hard work pay off as you fly through the course. Whether you are aiming for a podium or racing to push yourself to your limits, there’s nothing else quite like race day.
The Adventure Starts Here
The concept of adventure can hold different meanings for each individual. Sure, we may not be slaying dragons or rescuing damsels in distress, but we still crave a bit of excitement in our lives, a way to broaden our own horizons and see what the world has to offer. Some folks might satisfy that urge by jetting off to foreign countries, while others might try a new hobby or new career.
This urge to explore new places, try new things, and connect with new people is a fundamental part of our lives and a fundamental part of Red Family Photo, my personal adventure.
