    That's pretty gnarly. My father is a huge cycling fanatic and loves everything to do with mountain adventures so he will certainly enjoy reading/watching this, thanks for sharing.

      That's awesome! I do quite a bit of it myself and I was hoping it would find an audience here. Any fun trips coming up?
