Justin Rides his Bike

The biking community in Anchorage isn't huge, but there are over 200+ miles of paved trails and tons of mountain biking trails for Justin to explore. Last weekend he rode in 3 out of 5 segments in the Tour of Anchorage. Here he is after finishing the Glenn Alps segment - he placed 3rd in his category.

Yesterday Justin decided to punish himself by riding in the Triple Hill Climb. 15 miles and 3100 vertical feet. He had some mechanical issues but finished 2nd in his category. I am very proud of him! Here he is on Saturday with Anchorage in the far background. It was a beautiful day for a torturous bike ride.

Justin's made some new friends out biking. We had breakfast at Snow City Cafe (amazing food) with new friends from England after the race yesterday. Earlier in the week we went blueberry picking with another couple that Justin met while riding in the Tour of Anchorage. The blueberries are small and tart but the amount of fun and gorgeous views made it worth the 1 1/2 cups we accumulated.
