4 day bike trip into the deserts of America where we can be free, we can love, we can engage as real humans fully escaped.

Hard to follow up that sunset shot! :D I went for a gray ride around the city. It was actually the perfect temp and the legs felt great. Great ride all around. Found this cool plaque for the madman who came up with the floating bridge crossing Lake Washington. :)

I need to learn to give it week after a storm. The divide tends to blow +10” more that what is usually posted in total snowfall. I’m ready for some nice groomed, hard pack. So much more fun if you can stay in the pack at speed.
Got out and used the slower ride to scout camp spots and raise the bars a spacer to reduce arm pump

Tried out some 45NRTH boots I absolutely love.

Must be why no one was out…

Got invited to a friend’s ranch for the weekend to ride, eat and engage with other super interesting people at the base of the Dos Cabezas and Chiricahua Mountains…. Magical.

I was going to ask you how often you ride to the wall. Is that where the feds stopped building and gave away all the 100’s of miles of material the tax payers bought for free? Sorry political rant over.
I’m jealous, the weather looks amazing there.

Yup. The wall ends at that picture of me riding and from there on for almost 30 miles it‘s just a fence that anyone can crawl through.

The issue is that no one does because it is so remote with no water or food for many brutal miles…. Pretty much for these people it is a death sentence — especially if they have been crawling and hiking through the Sonoran desert for many, many miles through Sinoloan cartel lands… It is not for the faint of heart. I feel for these people. There are lots of locations where the dead lie.

It’s a no man’s land and in all honesty it is not patrolled by BP except by remote sensing and drones. We have the highest percentage of drone usage by the BP on the southern border where I live. It’s video game land— drones, sensors, and remote observation to construct a network of surveillance.

Classic panopticon.

New work of the day, had to look it up LOL. At least if you ever broke down 30 miles in and had an issue, it should make getting rescued much easier!! Nice work BTW, 50+ miles in the middle of a desert.
