I am glad that the adventuring spirit is still alive and well!

1. Ski goggles!!
2. That house was awesome
3. You've got some serious grit.

Haha! My Strava is so full of zwift right now that it should just be called zwift.

Hahaha! I enjoy seeing a californian's point of view on this story. Thank you for sharing and... that bike... so beautiful.

My determination was tested on this trip. There were a few times where I considered flagging down a car, haha!

I put a lot of work into the video so I very much appreciate that




...This trip also motivated me to finally invest in a proper winter sleeping bag. I accidental destroyed my last winter bag two years ago when I decided to ignore popular opinion and put my bag in a washing machine. I definitely agree with popular opinion now. Don't put your sleeping bag in a washing machine
