Desertscrub

Hello hello then.

Do you live in a desert? Do you ride a bike? Awesome. This magazine is for you.

Don’t live in a desert? That’s ok. You’re totally welcome to hang.

The latest issue

Welcome

A quick hello hello from the creator and editor of the magazine, explaining what the hell this thing is and where’s it’s (hopefully) going.


Mesa Connector

Printed versions

Printed versions of the magazine can be purchased at cost online through Blurb. No profit margins, just the cost for printing & shipping (with applicable taxes). A limited batch of free issues will be handed out at group bike rides, so say “hey!” when you see me and ask for a copy. Free print copies are first come, first serve, and a limited quantity.

We’re a special kind of crazy.

Biking year round with intense sun, 110° summer temps, weaving through cacti, racing dust storms. Sounds fun. I’m in.
