Powerline Pass by Mountain Bike

I'm posting links to a few albums from the summer. This one is from a bike trip my friend Josh and I took over Powerline Pass. This trail runs from Anchorage to Indian. It's an easy trail for most of the trip, with a wicked climb approaching the pass and then a super-steep downhill switchback coming down the other side.

It's a really beautiful trip - really enjoyable for a sunny weekend afternoon. It basically ends at a bar in Indian where you can get a burger and a beer while waiting for a friend to come pick you up. Alternatively, I guess you could ride the highway back to town, but with the traffic and exhaust, that's not my cup of tea.

During this trip, Josh's tire blew out, and I dented my wheel a bit. That was
probably a function of us goofing off in some rock fields. Josh had an extra tube, so it wasn't serious. Reminds one to bring appropriate gear though..
