Ghost of the Gravel 👻 I've wanted to ride this

Ghost of the Gravel 👻 I've wanted to ride this one for years! First time racing since 2019, and first time racing something that wasn't bikepacking since 2016. I felt pretty rusty, and was longing for a fancy light fast gravel bike with tires skinnier than 2.25". Or even faster legs would have done the trick.

But it was fun and the course was amazing, and the pulled pork sandwich and cookie at the end were the best.

I was riding on my own for most of the course, so it felt a bit like a bikepacking race - just one on suspiciously nice roads, and a suspiciously light bike.

Thanks for the fun event @ghostofthegravel ❤️

Like a lot of others, the @bikepackingcom Riders Lens Grant has been a great opportunity to reminisce about past bike adventures, and then start daydreaming about the next ones.

Will I finally ride the @bcepic1000 and the full 700km version of @ar700bike ? Maybe ride more of the routes from Ryan Correy's Bikepacking in the Canadian Rockies? I'd really love to ride the GRAAB (Gravel Across Alberta) Challenge put together by @krisanddean this year... And I'd still really love to ride the Tour Divide... And now @topofests and @a_girl_outside have got me daydreaming about the HT550 too - I've bikepacked some of it, but would love to ride the whole thing.

No matter what, there'll be more adventures with awesome friends and family, and lots of capturing all of the stories and sights along the way.

The Tour Divide Grand Depart was a bit more subdue

The Tour Divide Grand Depart was a bit more subdued this year - despite big numbers, the staggered starts in waves meant that the crowds were never that big, and there was a bit of confusion as people tried to figure out how exactly this was supposed to work. And there was no Crazy Larry!

By the time the first few waves had rolled out, everything was starting to go smoothly though, and every ten minutes another handful of riders lined up outside the Y, setting off to a handful of cheers and whoops.

Good luck to all the riders! Have fun out there!

There were only maybe a million birds - warblers were in the bushes singing everywhere, but the ducks were all busy nesting.

The west side of Spray Road used to be the way the GDMBR and the Tour Divide went. Not any more, because a seasonal wildlife closure between Canyon Dam and Bryant Creek says you can't ride through all summer long.

But on the plus side, it's now a super quiet and scenic day ride to Canyon Dam return!

I'm still a bit surprised by how much I enjoy paddleboarding. But it brings all the fun of kayaking without having to be stuck in a boat AND you can lie down and have a nap if you want.

And you can even combine it with bird watching!

Let's go ride bikes.

And then eat a huge pile of food because we're starving despite all of the snacks on the ride.

(Oh, and we managed to dodge the rain today! And saw one bear.)
