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.

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

 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.

Dash was one huge fan of Tanner!  

Munger'n

 Felt honored to be part of Tanner's (12 years old) first single track mission.  He was so stoked.  

 Happy boy and proud parents on top!  

Labor'ing

 It has been probably 6 plus years in a  row we have gotten together with this all star crew to hang on Labor Day weekend.  Always a great time with even better people.

Drawing to a close....

 Getting a pre work rip in last week with my bud Adam.  Hard to believe the local trails close in a week from now.
