September-October Photo Dump

I've been neglecting the blogosphere as of late. Here is a photo dump of the last 2 months of bike related shenanigans, as biking really does make everything a whole lot more enjoyable.

Scored a new ride on craigslist: Scandium Salsa Motorapido. The sheer carbon footprint of manufacturing this rare-earth-element frame will force me to ride bikes long into my old age to offset the carbon deficit, but is sure is light and pretty.

Fall began. Riding in crunchy dead leaves is a special feeling.

Flew to Colorado to visit friends and family, and learn a little about traumatic brain injury, and hopefully ride bikes.



Zomba.


After drinking 650b flavored coolaide the past two years it felt good to get back on a 29er.  Raleigh XXIX. 

Durango dust.


The sky is bigger here.

Just standing near these jumps caused a fracture to my clavicle.

Colorado waterfalls are somehow superior to those in Alaska, but far from compatible to anything in Iceland. 

Brainiacs. 
Listening to booring lectures for one day was a small price to pay for getting rad with my best friends, road tripping across the state with my mom, buying cheap avocados, and gourmet donut holes.






God bless America.

Back in Alaska:

Gold Mint Trail; Hatcher's Pass.




Fun with Photoshop app, but not as fun as the ride.


I was out of town on beaches, mountain tops, or shredding desert single track for almost all the cyclocross races this year but I did make it to the final race as a fan. Loaded up the xtracycle for some BBQ action, in town adventure by bike. 


Badass fat-tire chariot. 


Bike wash. 

Cyclocropcircle.



The trails had a very spooky feel to them this past weekend, must be close to Halloween.


Holding on to fall as long as the snow stays away...

I think all the radiation from Japan is making the sunsets more beautiful.
