An epic birthday adventure weekend indeed. Big adv An epic birthday adventure weekend indeed. Big adventure bikes and tiny electric bikes in the beautiful hills of VA. 5 hours north of Asheville is an amazing spot called Penmerryl Farm that hosts equestrian and adventure riders. Amazing terrain, great hosts and epic views. Thanks for a killer birthday weekend Blair, Laura and the rest of the Penmerryl crew. #exploremore #adventuretime #birthdaybonanza #avladv #bigadventurebikes #bmwmotorcycles #segwayx260 #r1200gs #ridethefarmweekend2021 #penmerrylfarm

Now we're posted up at Indian Pass campground for a few days of beach time. I finally got to ride a two wheeled vehicle on a beach for the first time. Bad ass! The #segwayx260 is a blast on the sand.

I stopped riding my mountain bike years ago when I fell head first into adventure motorcycling. This electric dirt bike is an amazing hybrid between dirt bikes and mountain bikes. If you enjoy riding either of those you need to get your hands on one of these. #exploremore #electricdirtbike #gofastgofargolight

Well the great Alaskan journey is now complete. Me Well the great Alaskan journey is now complete. Me and @beerrunneraudra managed to drink our way across the great state of Alaska and make it home safe. We visited some amazing breweries along the way. My personal favorite from the trip was a Mango Siam Sour from @49thstatebrewing. Until next time... Stay wild Alaska, I'll be back soon. Probably on two wheels next time. #beeringacrossalaska #beerporn #beerstagram @kingstbrewco @turnagainbrewing @denalibrewing @@moosestoothpub @anchoragebrewing @cynosurebrewing @cooper_landing_brewing_company @sewardbrewing @graceridgebrewing @steliasbrewingco @midnightsunbrewingco @magnorthbrewing
Hatchers pass... Alaska. We took the advise of a l Hatchers pass... Alaska. We took the advise of a local Talkeetna resident and made a detour on our way back down south. Hatchers pass is a magical little gravel road that goes up and over the mountain. It turned out to be one of the most scenic drives we've done in the past two weeks. The road connects the town of Willow to Fishhook. #summitlake #hatcherspassalaska #avalancheterrain #groundsquirrelsofinstagram
Our final day I'm Talkeetna, Alaska. We stayed in Our final day I'm Talkeetna, Alaska. We stayed in a sweet little tiny home that was built and owned by a float plane pilot. Decided to take a flight with him the following morning around the Talkeetna mountain range. Apparently this house was featured on an HGTV episode about tiny homes a few years back. The plane was a 1974 Cessna float plane that he purchased back in 1997. He refused to let me fly it. #talkeetnaalaska #floatplane #antiquesnowmobile #tinyhome #tinyhomesalaska
Highlights from our trip into #denalinationalpark. Highlights from our trip into #denalinationalpark. If you don't know about this park you should look it up. 6 million acres of protected land that is only accessible by commercial bus or backpacking. There is a 90 mile road that runs all the way into the park. What an amazing experience! We caught the park on an overcast and cloudy day which made for some amazing views but unfortunately the mountain was covered in clouds. The 6th photo is our bus driver holding up a photo of what this views would look like if it weren't super cloudy. Visiting these places during a pandemic has been interesting but experiencing these places with 10-15% of the normal crowd has been a treat. #bearsontherun #denaliintheclouds #caribouchillin #braidedriver @denalinps #pandemicparks
