I brought my mountain bike down from my dad's house in May and started riding to work again a few days a week. It's a shorter ride than my commute in Albuquerque was and the trails are a bit rougher, but it's still a nice ride. Two weeks ago i decided the trail was good enough and switched to my road bike. It amazes me how much more fun the road bike is on paved trails, I actually rode twice as far the first day I had the road bike just because it was fun. Saturday afternoon I decided to take it out along the Cook Inlet for my first real ride of the year.
Riding above the Alaska Railroad. |
Looking over the Cook Inlet |
If the views good enough for a spotting scope, it's probably worth stoping for. |
Ride along the Chugach mountains on the other side of the trail from the Inlet. |
This on is for Ginny and any other geologist reading my blog. |
Under the right conditions (at the base of the mountains after 40+ miles of riding) even heat lamp pizza tastes delicious. |
Here the trail runs through a salt marsh created during the Good Friday earthquake. |
My afternoon ride might have had a slight scope creep problem. |
