Boxing gloves that work down to -20°F and don't reduce dexterity (because you use with thin glove-liners).
Riding through the shenanigans of the aid station during the 60 mile Trio race in Talkeetna yesterday. I heard there were chainsaws, fire, nerf guns, riding inflatable animals down the river, lots of alcohol and all sorts of tom foolery going on, in addition the the barriers they tried to set up.
What is it?
Some kind of counter, which confirms Drumpf's suspicions...
I rode today. No pictures. Hot and dusty, every climb is too damn steep.
Wouldn't change it for anything.

WHEREZZAT?
Spent a week in Santa Monica that picture is a couple miles from the old Nike missile site I was on the west ridge canyon trail...The salsa rental bike was awesome...Also cause you can appreciate this spent all day Wednesday at the Getty museum, not the villa the one up on top of the hill...WOW just fucking WOW
A nice 40ish mile ride up to Resurrection Pass. Trail conditions were fantastic for the most part, but we are getting more than 12hrs of sun a day now, so things will start to fall apart quickly in the next few weeks. I've never done any of our Kenai Peninsula trails in the winter time, so this was pretty neat getting to the summit in the winter. I went a mile or two past the actual pass because I had no idea where it was with all the snow cover.
Ok, that's way too green!
God hates me?? No rep option available to me? Incredible injustice. Shenanigans has been called.
Finally, back to DH racing.
Riding down from the Tram building to the start of the race...figuring out "holy shit, this is soft as heck" (new snow)
Which made everyone adjust their tire pressures.
At the bottom
This guy only rode half a bike! Ballsy.
Race was from the top of the tram down to the day lodge, something like 2200 vertical. Speeds weren't nearly as fast this year, only around 45mph instead of 55mph, big ruts formed, which wouldn't be so bad, but you couldn't see well at the top, in typical Alyeska fashion. I remember a ski day this year when I shared the lift with a girl visiting from CO who asked "is the visibility always this bad?" Yep. This race is a blast though, you get some fast speeds going. I got 9th, which was better than I thought I'd do, given how slow I was at first trying to see where I was going and then later when I crashed on a switchback (but it's snow, so who cares?). Brakes were burning like crazy coming though, haha. Top time still less than 3 minutes.
