This is Steely Fran and she’s my favorite. 2019 Salsa Vaya on 29" tubeless tires. This is my year-round ride but spring and summer are my favorite time to ride by far.
I’m on a 2013 Vaya. That bike changed my life. Easily over 20k miles and still going.
Happy trails
Me and Kid2 rolling around the cascades. When I’m on my own and out for adventure I ride Clyde - A Jones LWB, closing in on 12000 miles together. Half of the Tour Divide, all of the Oregon Outback, bailed out of the XWa in Wenatchee to help out at home.
Headed up to Vancouver Island in a few weeks for some gentle gravel.
Paths like these are what I live for. Here’s a boardwalk from a chill little loop outside of Boston.
Where I used to roam years ago as a reckless kid on a 10-speeder, but looking forward to riding on those roads again.
