Jeremy Benson

Jeremy Benson is a freelance writer who has lived in North Lake Tahoe for 16 years and currently resides in Truckee, CA. He is an obsessive mountain biker and racer with a mild addiction to Strava and self-inflicted pain. He enjoys suffering on long climbs to reap the gravity-fueled reward of the descents and is especially tough on and critical of mountain biking gear. In the winter months, he can be found backcountry skiing throughout the mountains of the great state of California on two planks or driving down to lower elevations to shred dirt on two wheels. Jeremy is the author two books, Mountain Bike Tahoe and Backcountry Ski and Snowboard Routes: California, both published by Mountaineers Books in 2017.
