Change of plans last week via a serendipitous email, and instead of riding to the Anza-Borrego desert I met up with my friend Igor and we spent four days riding from the LA area to the Bay area. A considerable feat seeing that he lives in Thailand. We just happened to be in the same place going the same direction at the same time. Highlights of our time together included the Bristlecone Pine Forest and Yosemite, as well as stealth camping IN BEAR COUNTRY (my favorite!)

Remember Igor? He’s Igorshen on ADVrider, and we first met in El Salvador on New Year’s Day 2010, and then later we rode into the Darien together.

Igor is a fantastic photographer, and I am happy to have some really nice pics of me riding. Thanks Igor!
