"... Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards." – Edward Abbey

Video bump.
Descending the ridge trail at Jack London Park in Glen Ellen, CA. Nothing technical or rocky, but it's extremely narrow in parts and can be a rush when you really give it some speed and know the trail well.

Dan, that is awesome.
You should see his face at the bottom of each lap, just grinning ear-to-ear. I use a 4 ft bungee cord as a tow cable and pull him back to the top. One day we probably made 20 laps. He needs to grow an inch or two so we can get him on some 16" wheels.

Spent the last week cruising around southwestern Wyoming, just outside of Saratoga, along the Medicine Bow National Forest. Lots of long solitary climbs with some epic views and bald eagles for company. I need to go back and explore some more. Absolutely stunning country.

Were you on the sw side of the Snowies then? I drove through Saratoga a few years ago and was blown away by that country back there.
Nice! What was the actual riding like?
From the 2nd pic looks like the skiing could be pretty stellar
