More often than not, when a memory pops up this old I cringe a little. But this day, 13 years ago, changed the game for me. I was never a big fan of moving bodies of water. But my curiosity was stronger than my fear.
A used @alpacka_raft they were nice enough to sell me from their demo fleet, a nerdy @salsacycles Mukluk fatbike, and a couple days to connect the dots on the map around the Verde River in central AZ. Holy shit, did I get out of my comfort zone and walk away with my mind blown by the possibilities of combining these two tools. I don’t think twice about this type of multi-sporting now. In fact I seek them out. I just had to get this first time out of the way.
Forever in debt to the inspiration and encouragement from OGs like @republicofdoom and @dialroman - water isn’t just for drinking in the desert. 🙏🍻
