I'm sad to report that one of my fellow Bike&Builders, Ariel Shaker, passed away a few days ago. Here is a video commemorating her B&B experience. She was a great girl; athletic, outgoing, and enthusiastic. I'm keeping her family in my thoughts today, as well as my fellow P2SF07 friends.

California
San Rafael; last stop before San Francisco.
We had to cross this major highway to get to San Francisco from San Rafael; it was the only option, unless we wanted to go up through San Fran and back down to San Rafael.
In-N-Out
"Something's got to slow me down."
Vineyards and beautiful roses in Napa, California.
Lake Tahoe
Post-ride meal; after crossing the Sierra Nevadas.
Beautiful Lake Tahoe.
Nevada
First view of Lake Tahoe! (The Oasis of the Nevada-California border)
Longhorn Pride.
Camping in Battle Mountain, Nevada.
Pretty much sums up Nevada.
Utah
The Salt Flats of Utah.
The Tree of Utah; strangest state landmark ever.
The Tree of Utah, in all its glory.
Me and salt.
Park City, Utah: beautiful and hellish ride.
Camping.
Dinosaur National Monument... before you reach the park.
Blue Mountain.
Colorado (continued)
Leaving Stoneham, Colorado.
Estes Park, check.
Dinosaur, Colorado. (Self-timered!)
A perfect example of the landscape. I'm really into plateaus.
Maybell, Colorado.
Crazy cloud! Troy Kimmel would be proud.
Rabbit Ears Pass.
The Breakfast Club; I couldn't decide which breakfast treat to get! The great thing about biking across America is you don't have to choose!
