Cold Out

Anyone still biking out there? I'm not talking to you Florida and South of France kids, I'm talking to ya'll NYC, Chicago, Denver cats - its fuckin cold out.
I think I'm finally ready to pick up my first face/ski mask for bike riding so my face doesn't fall off. I already have thermal base layer, its time to protect the dome.
So, winter riders, got any suggestions as to what is the BEST facemask to buy? Leave some ideas in the comments, pleeeze!

Best Campsite Ever



so, other than some wickid juggalo overtones (see below), i just returned from a wonderful visit to the Granite Mountain Wilderness in Prescott, AZ.
now, don't let that "wilderness" part mislead you...this was straight up Civilized aka "Car-Camping," which i generally look down on, but i make an exception for this site.



all the pics here are taken from within the campsite. the first nite i was there, there were NO OTHER CAMPERS other than the campsite host, at the extreme opposite of the campgrounds. the second nite someone was in the next site over, but i still had about 75 yards of personal space, plus the beautiful rocky environs of my paid site. for a casual boulderer like myself, a site like this is heaven. also, the drunker i get throughout the night, the harder it is to navigate the labryinthine corridors of this beautiful rockpile next to the tent.







also, the best camping buddies ever


it was cold-as-fuck (aka 36 overnight low both nights) but some extra Goodwill blankets and some fine IPAs made the 2nd nite much more tolerable. highly recommended....come visit me and i'll subject you to such horrors free of charge* (*Free being equal to you paying for the campsite and buying all beer...)
