Apologies for the lack of updates this past week, been trying to get after it as much as possible before the snow flies...

Here are a couple of videos of Danny and myself from this fall.

First, our fearless leader and friends climbing at an undisclosed location:

Second, here's some footage of me shot by Steve Ferguson back in September, as edited by Josh Romberg (having trouble with embedding video or link) cut and paste address to view:

Fall Stoke

2008-10-24T13:01:00.000-07:00

The roommates and I decided to break out the cruisers and take a scenic shuttle tour from Galena Summit down into the basin.

Served as some good winter recon, an excuse to wear bell bottoms, and a good test run for the bike I'll be "racing" in the Idaho Cross Championships tomorrow.

back at the summit, brendan shredded a big mountain line on fubar, my cruiser'd out '95 zaskar.

"Seasons change and so do I..."

2008-10-20T08:35:00.000-07:00

The colors are turning here in the Wood River Valley, and with the last week's dusting of the local peaks, it doesn't feel like winter is that far away. If you'd like to share a shot you feel represents the transition of fall to winter, send me an e-mail at tyo.julian@gmail.com. Biking, climbing, hot-springing, hiking, volleyball, whatever- send it my way and we'll put something together.

Josh snapped this nugget the other day out on Adam's loop:

So it Snowed Today...

Staycation

2008-10-07T12:59:00.000-07:00

The morning after a big night in Stanley, our motley crew of three met up at the Bakery to orchestrate the day's adventure. Josh, Sean and I represented the remnants of what was slated to be the "big" ride. While our riding buddies sat quivering under their covers, waiting for the rains to pass before leaving their beds, our trio set out to conquer the "big one" in the persisting drizzle.

We set Sean's trusty Torpedo as our shuttle vehicle with proper apres supplies, cranked up the latin hip hop, and ascended into the mist. The light drizzle lasted through the day, creating all-time conditions on one of the most stimulating trails out there. The sun made a brief appearance, so Josh pulled out his camera and snapped some bangers (click to enlarge):

4000+ feet of descending later we arrived safely back at the Torpedo chilled to the bone and grinning ear to ear. Good thing there were some hotsprings nearby...
