I go up and down these roads all the time but I love seeing it through different eyes (and legs). <BR/><BR/>It was great seeing you again, glad you could stop by for a BBQ. Sierra and I are already talking about riding that loop next year, you've inspired us. <BR/><BR/>I was out at Carcross today mountain biking on Montana mountain. The winds were fierce, I can't imagine riding out on the highway. You're some kind of machine! <BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Anthony1234567890https://www.blogger.com/profile/07066624997554342571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-27371142243804193772007-08-20T11:04:00.000-06:002007-08-20T11:04:00.000-06:00I have driven that same route, but never biked it....I have driven that same route, but never biked it. My photos disappointed me too. It's funny but I can tell that some of your photos were taken at the same spots where I took mine.

Some of your pictures seem very similar to the areas I rode in Southern Patagonia - your pictures are beautiful. That woman at the beginning who said you were either brave or crazy - is there some kind of cult that forces people to ask that very question almost everywhere I go? What is up with that? You should have responded to her question: "Are you going to hurl yourself down that river with just a paddle? You must be just crazy, not brave". I've begun to get inventive when people make those stupid questions. Welcome back. Sounds like a ride I hope to do sometime soon !Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715647945734197748noreply@blogger.com
