End of Season bike trip

With fall about to end and a three day weekend to take advantage of, Sam, Chris, and I decided to ride our bikes down to Delta Junction, then kick around the Deltas for a day. We took two bikes and a car so that we could get back quickly and so that people could take occasional breaks from riding. We ended up biking down in a day, camping near the terminus of the Canwell Glacier, then taking a day hike back up the glacier a bit.

Sam rocking it on his bike. His bike had an extremely comfortable cushioned seat, as opposed to the hard small mountain bike seat that gave me some pretty rad saddle soreness by the end of the day.

The mountains at a stop along the way.

Sam and Chris kicking it.

Lower Miller and the ridges rising next to the Canwell. The fall colors were beautiful...made me wish I'd gotten out in September more than I did.

Pretty sweet ice fall. We hiked out to this point to check it out, then turned around and finished the hike. It had rained pretty heavily the night before, so we were universally soaked bush-whacking through all the shrubs.
