Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. U.S.A. Nemy, Hyla and Paul

Here's just another day in a cycle of real life. A cycle tour that saw, my two compasses, Nicola and Hyla, and a I amazingly fill in the empty spaces on a crossword. That meaning a  cross state ride from Bakersfield to South Lake Tahoe, CA. There we ceremoniously jettisoned the one spice girl back to life in Ontario, Canada. That up and down story can be found further back via the “older post” button. Father’s days! 

These pages are of Hyla and I continuing and taking in some pretty amazing highs and "ohs" and trying to chase, thankfully, a never ending horizon. 

Or at least for now Portland, Oregon, U.S.A.

Good Morning America

 Here we will break camp Helen Lake and go bag the summit.

Fuelling up!!!!!!!!!!!

Buttering me up.

Lassen Peak in the background is a realistic hike to the summit.

But not for us today.

Summit Series.

 We'll threw in a couple extra photos here to long live and celebrate a rather aggressive climb over the two days getting here.

After a mix of "up" probably over thirty kilometres,....

Our profile today is all smiles for downhill miles.

..... a little zigging....

and a lot of zagging.

After a couple of nights of primitive camping, we've counted the quarters and going to hit the showers!
