Wow, look at this gem tucked away in Day Trippin'! You seriously could/should have thrown this in Ride Reports; certainly epic enough.

I appreciate humble whenever I see it, and you come off that way throughout your RR. But insult yourself as you may, I just read this report front to back non-stop and screwed myself for sleep

. Give yourself due credit man- this is great stuff.

The pics are great, the commentary is great, many unique elements (support crew, hikes, etc), and damn is that a nice Vstrom. I have scrapbooked this report (firefox extension- permanently save webpages) for future reading and for planning my trip to Alaska next year.

Thanks for your time

No kidding!!! Really great idea, family vacation/solo bike tour. Inspired Sir.

I'm always late to the party, but I needed (truly NEEDED) a diversion exactly like this today. Muchas gracias amigo.

Hey, thanks guys. It's odd how this thread resurrected somehow. ...but it's fun to relive it.

I have no idea how he did it, but look at the pic below - one of the FFs on this forum was kind enough to magically make the doofus disappear.

After:

Thanks Phil! How did you do that

Nice little Friday after work report! That's it, I'm going to Utah! If I left now I could be there tomorow

Nice RR

Great work on this Brad. I'm more than a little envious...

You're no slouch either.

I'm slouching in this chair right now...

It took me the better part of 20 years, but I had a "Well Duh" revelation; one-on-one time with your kids(and spouse) is about as good as it gets ...even if the "kid" is about grown up. I FINALLY got my 21 year old on the bike a few weeks ago - and went on a trip up into Tenn and NC. She stuck to my back like glue for the first half hour, but in time she loosened up and we had a blast.

We went up to Tellico Plaines and camped on a Saturday. After setting up camp, we rode the Cherohala, then she wanted to run up to Deal's Gap to get a bragging-rights shirt.

I didn't know it, but she was snapping away with the camera back there

Sometimes life is awesome.

I love riding with my daughter. She's almost 24. It doesn't happen often.

GSequoia · 11-15-2012, 03:19 PM

Very nice.

I'm eagerly waiting for my kids to get old enough to take along, I've got some time though since one is 19 mos. and the other 4 years.
