I got Freedom's ashes right before leaving, so this trip was kind of about him. Still celebrating him.
I hoisted my bike on top of my car myself. Super proud but shitty gas mileage.
Scored a powder day at Mammoth on May 9, 2015. Good thing i brought my ski gear!
Navigating a rock garden in Rock Creek. Practice for some of the technical terrain in Moab.

Bootleg Canyon, Boulder City, NV. Running tubeless for the first time! The guys at All Mountain Cyclery really took care of us. Thats Fucci (total shredder) behind me.

Minco taught me i could love another dog again. He's an awesome trail dog, even at seven months old, and slept on top of me.

Potential EC (Explorer catcher) here, because my front end is a little wider, but i was stoked how well my bike handled the technical terrain.

I was definitely challenged with the technical terrain

Tight squeeze but look at that suspension working!

Klondike Bluffs. This was the hardest day of them all, physically. I was really challenged.

The more time i spent with this guy, the more i wanted to be with him.
Have never seen anything like this. Some serious Cloud Porn!

Slick Rock Trail. Lots of undulations and climbing this day, but my favorite by far. Really want to do this loop again now that i know it. That's Sylvie reeling me in. She's a good ride partner.

The fun part!

if you could see down into this canyon, you would understand why i'm sitting there. Absolutely breath taking!

The Crew from Telluride Adaptive we met up with. From left to right: Sylvie, Ricky Bobby, Patty Wack, Madman Poole, Jer, and Jet (my fav). Cool to see all the different bikes.

The terrain in Moab is so unique and I fell in love with it. If you haven't, you must.

Gemini Bridges! Blown away by the geologic history of this place. Taking this pic was a little sketchy, but i didn't care.

As much of a ham as i am, I discovered i like to be behind the camera too.
Foxy and i stopped to check out the Crackhouse so he could play around.

Foxy is super talented and makes it easy though.
I wasn't gonna let these steps stop me.

This should be a postcard! FOUR national parks in one day started with sunrise at the Arches. Felt the energy of this place.

Then to Bryce Canyon

Saw a unicorn on the way to Zion
Then through Zion
Silver Canyon, White Mountains. Are we in Nevada or California? I don't even know! On our way home, we struck the biggest adventure of them all. 6000 vert in 10 miles. The Land of Milk and Honey awaits beyond.

Soaking it all in with a beer before crossing the last leg home to Mammoth. Thanks for the memories, Foxy!
