Why do you choose to live where you do? @daryllvispo, tells us why he lives in Alaska. We can’t argue with him. To see Denali so clearly, in all it’s glory, would inspire you and then some. ・・・ “This weekend, I was given a once in a lifetime opportunity to drive into Denali National Park and witness its majestic grandeur. Weather forecast said it was going to be a cloudy one so I had no expectation to see the tallest mountain in America or with my luck, it will be clouded over by the time I get to this spot. However, we were fortunate to witness her for the entire day and had a perfect weather for September. Truly, I’m always reminded of why I keep staying to live in this wonderful state of Alaska”. 📸 credit to @ak_beck

We challenge you this week to live like this awesome kid in 3 simple ways. 1. Be you. Rock your style with confidence. Bonus points for sweet shades and jammies. 2. Make outside time with loved ones a priority (this kid has been going on weekly bike packing trips with his family since he was 4!). 3. Chip in. Pick up trash or help somebody who needs it (check out the front of his basket filled with trail-trash he has cleaned up). 📷 credit to @dawnraek

@anndriggers found a ‘Luminous aspen tunnel on last nights leaf peeping bikepack ‘. What do you get excited about in the fall? Leaves changing color? Puffy jackets? Please comment below and let us know! Credit to @anndriggers for the 📷 and for inspiring us to get out on our bikes in the crisp, fall weather.

We hope your Monday is going swimmingly! We also hope @chrisliedlephoto has worked off his ice cream headache from Saturday snorkels in the Mount Hood National Forest.
