You're fucking insane.

I just want you to know that.

In AK, there are perfectly reasonable narcotic and alcohol options but you go spend hours walking sideways on skis......not to ski.....oh no.......but to then go ride a weird bike in a star wars tunnel that you'll keep hitting your wheels on. I don't understand it but I do respect work. Stomp on crazy north man, stomp on......



Could probably even sit down on that track if tires work on it

Initially I didn’t know what I was looking at. Now it’s clear. Wild!

crazy man goes out on skis to walk awkwardly sideways to stomp down snow to then ride his clown bike in a tunnel! Crazy man!

If they only make some kind of machine designed to operate in snow that would leave a compressed track behind it.

Where are you going to find a snowmobile in alaska?

 

[jstuhlman]

Any field was a shitshow. I had rides where I had to pick off 20+ of the fuckers. Some summers I wouldn't see a single one.

Found some sneaky steeps. More snow than I’ve “shredded” in a long time.

yep. Too close to NOT go when it’s dumping. Kids had a ski pm out of school today and they gave me the heads up.

Powder day, for Kidwoo

I would eat shit constantly with those walls on the sides of 'trails'

That trail was shit, whomever snowshoed it did so with big steps resulting in little compression. The next was good after i passed the guy basically falling his way thru the entire trail. Wide is nice when you can bomb it. Most of the ride was narrow stuff, twisting bars between trees and ducking under others.

And yeah, im at the bar right now.

perhaps another way to enjoy the flats?

Finally got out for a ride. Feels like it's been months and my legs would agree.

Wore my Sunday best clothing, of course.

No woks, microwaves or fire extinguishers, no care.

I'll have to get some Jm_ pogies to fit all that on the bike.

 

[HardtailHack]

Out in the Gymeas.

Bush spa.

Big stick said hello to my derallieuer, gave it a good bend and cracked the jockey wheel.

[canadmos]

Even shorter ride today. Trudging through soft untracked snow over this crap sucked...

 

[HardtailHack]

I found this, I don't know where it goes.

Finally some cooler temps down in the single F digits this morning. That firmed the snow way up and it was great to ride! Also nice to be cooler when riding

 

[Jozz]

It was truly exceptional.

First tracks on some fresh pow. Is that how this thing works?

More of a workout than a ride tbh.

[HardtailHack]

Got out and about.

Last ride I went on my fork felt crap, seemed I'd just been slowly dialing up the compression as I got fatter instead of adding more air.
Went back to three spacers in the shock and it feels better but it does top out a bit, the Mara was a bad choice.

I'm still just blown away how modern skis make mincemeat of ungroomed/natural conditions. Back in the day it was such a struggle on 204cm GS skis and that was the only way to get enough float to turn.
