Bikerafting the Lava Coast.

Way back in the summer of 2011 I completed a traverse of a chunk of the Alaska Peninsula with Dave Gray, Pete Basinger, and Brian Blair.


I shared a detailed writeup and lots of pics in several chapters after returning:


One.


Two and three.


Four.


Five.


Six.


Seven.


Eight.


Nine.


Ten, eleven, twelve.


Thirteen.


(to be continued…)

I also shared an opinion on the headspace required for a traverse of this nature, along with a handful of out-takes, here: http://lacemine29.blogspot.com/2011/09/lava-coast-adversity-entertainment-and.html


Gear geekin’ extravaganza here: http://lacemine29.blogspot.com/2012/04/lost-and-found-random-gear-geekin.html


Worth mentioning with all of the above: This was 2011. The Surly Moonlander (R.I.P.) was only a prototype, tires like Bud and Lou were still but a faraway dream, and Alpacka had not yet come out with their Cargo Fly. Practically the dark ages!


Gear aside, it was a most memorable traverse, and a fantastic way to see a writ-large chunk of the peninsula.


Today I can finally share the full-blown video from that trip.

Enjoy!

Thanks.
