Is it river permit season yet?

 I would have to think we will be applying for a host of bitching river trips this upcoming winter.

Fam moto'n

 It had been a few weeks since the fam had been out on the motos.  Too busy doing other fun stuff.  But..., three weeks is three weeks too long to not ride these fun machines.  We had a blast up Mosquito Creek.  

 Always feel so darn lucky to have these types of adventures right out our doorstep.  


Gates WraP

 The last day.....always a bitter sweet day on any river trip.  



 We found a lil bit of clean water and...., of course fished it.  

We will be back Gates of Ladore.  You were more than memorable.

Gates 3

 Taking my sweet time documenting this awesome trip for a host of reasons....

1.  Because it was so awesome.

2.  Because it was snowing today and well, I am not ready for snow.

Gates of Ladore

 This past weekend we went and floated the Gates of Ladore section of the Green River about 5 hours from Jackson.  It was everything I thought it was going to be and then some!  Amazing, amazing trip.  Owe a massive thanks to Rena and Joe for driving all the way to Jackson to hang with Dash while Chels and I had what amounted to our first kid free trip on some levels!  

 Always wanted to take this left turn in the boonies! 

Ben and Ted rolled with us and we were dubbed the "Wyoming Crew" from the rest of the posse that came from Steamboat, Breckenridge, and Sun Valley.  

 Early morning scene at the put in.  

Getting the boats ready at the put in.  No crowds, hot weather, and big sand beaches. Yes.

lotoja

 Another year gone by and another fun LOTOJA bike race.  For me, it is my favorite race of the year by far and away.  It has it all.  Length, beauty, riding by your house, fans, good climbs, etc.  

I raced in the pro division this year.  It was hard racing, but I hung tough.  The beers afterward sure did taste good.  

 Couldn't have done it without my amazing support crew.  Kristen, Dash, Chels, and Hannah.  Much love all.  

7th place overall with over 2k participants, 23 mph average spread out over 210 miles.
