LOL – I’m too scared to go climbing!

Those darn cages are dangerous!

Aw, heck, cages are just plain dangerous! Any serious MTBer knows that. You either get clipless for x/c bikes or flats for the cross/downhill bikes.

Looks like a great place to MTB. Wish I still did! Too scared now, I’d rather go climbing

I wonder – I think it might catch the eye of a serious biker. Guess I could clone them out, although I usually don’t go that route.

Thanks Jim!

One of these days I’ll bike this area. Great photo (toe cage or not). LOL I hardly think anyone would notice, but reading the comments on that made me chuckle.

Thanks a lot Rob – you live / work at a beautiful area!

Hi Carl. Funny, my bike is black, and my clothes mostly dark, but then I’m rarely in front of the camera!

Great shot Ron, and I’m glad to hear you have a new favorite in Gunnison, CO!

Hey Janine,

That’s exactly the kind of riding situation the cages are made for .. steeper, sketchy sections. Don’t let it happen again.

Well, next spring we’ll have to do some biking – you can take me up the Lost Lake Trail and I’ll take you over Res. Pass.

The red bike photographs well, doesn’t it. My bike is Darth Vader Black, so it doesn’t have that travel photo appeal .. but it’ll be simply stunning against the Kenai Peninsula Greens.

Cheers

Great eye Warren! I almost pointed it out and wondered if anyone would spot it.

Thanks Carl! I’m up for the Res. Trail! But we will need to help Janine with her toe baskets first. I have never ridden the Hope end.

Hmm…wonder where I have seen that lone tree on the skyline before?

LOL, Carl, you would notice the toe cage! I am usually very careful about those details but..here comes the excuse…it was a steep and short area I didn’t have enough time to get my toe in…I tried. I was hoping no one would notice. I need to do clip in shoes but I am too spastic for that!!! Our bikes. It would be fun to do more riding in Alaska. All we ever ride is Lost Lake Trail.

Hey Ron,

That cyclist needs to actually put her toes IN the toe cages. That said, the blue top is killin’ .. it screams 2010.

Your bike or do you rent them?

We need to go up and ride Res. Pass in the spring – I haven’t ridden it in years.

Cheers

Carl
