Awesome images, Andrew. I will coax this route out of you. Might require a lot of whiskey, but I'll do it.

Good grief, where is this place, and why do I now have an uncontrollable hankering for a Bucksaw?

p nut, that is from last August in Iceland. It is a section of really difficult trail by Lake Alftlavatn on the Laugavegur Trail that runs from Lanndmanalauger to Skogar, about 80 miles. A damn hard 80 miles.
In that shot you can make out the trail in the background. That was a good rideable section that was maybe a mile long. Prior to that the trail was a near 45 degree down hike through scree and ruts that were hip deep. Choss. It took me close to two hours to down hike and ride the 3-5 miles and 1000 feet of descent to that point.
That river in the picture....was no trickle. It was over knee deep and raging. Took a lot of courage for me to wade into that mess. What the picture doesn't show are the 45 mph winds that were rocking. Had it not been raining I would have been more inclined to try to get a better image. At this point I had been moving for about 16 hours and was pretty damn wooped.

spent some time in Denali Monday and then road 100 miles of the Copper Basin trail with a snowmo on Thursday. Today I swept the fat bike coarse for the skimeister challenge (fat bike, xc ski, gs ski race)http://www.adn.com/article/20150404/ski-bike-worlds-collide-alaska-skimeister-challenge
then got a lap in on the head wall at Alyeska. I love spring in AK.
