Definitely more excited to do this ride than fit enough to actually do it 🤘🥵 #rideyerdamnbike #cycling #surlyogre #spring #banff #canada #mountains #fitness #adventure

Mission of Burma was my soundtrack while I was in Pakistan. Burma achieved cult popularity in the early eighties combining almost soft and poppy melodies with jarring guitars and feedback. The group disbanded before catching the indie/punk boom of the mid eighties. This night was spent in Chilam, an army post/transit stop at the base of the climb to Deosai. I laid down peacefully in the most dilapidated room I'd yet to spend a night in, only to be awoken by the arrival of what sounded like 50 people including wailing infants, the whole nine yards. Needless to say, Mission of Burma's 1982 Vs. was my lullaby to sleep 👶🎵 At least until I heard the hotel owner banging on my door so he could steal blankets from my room 🤦‍♂️ #music #missionofburma #soundtrack #punk #pakistan #gilgitbaltistan #baltistan #deosai #karakoram #bikepacking #biketouring #mountains #fitness #adventure #selfpowered #diy #donotdisturb

I miss everything about this (except maybe the dysentery that followed later that evening 🙄) #pakistan #gilgitbaltistan #baltistan #deosai #karakoram #bikepacking #biketouring #bicycletouring #cycletouring #adventurebybike #mountains #fitness #adventure #takemeback #selfpowered #selfpropelled

I'd post a #bestnine but I think I barely posted nine pictures last year, so here's one 🤷‍♀️ My adventure life was on fleek last year, but I realized that alone isn't enough to satisfy me. So here's to addressing other life stuff this year and, hopefully, adventuring too🤘🏼 #2020 #bikepacking #pakistan #gilgitbaltistan #karakoram #ghanche #hushe #baltistan #biketouring #cycletouring #travel #selfpowered #selfpropelled #mountains #fitness #adventure

Got out and did things 🙌🏽🏔 #chrisdontgram #sulphurfest #trailrunning #mountainrunning #banff #alberta #canada #mountains#fitness #adventure

Back in Canada now, so I'll stop spamming pictures from Pakistan eventually... inshallah! 🙄 In the meantime, here's a bunch of places I saw on my bike last month. #pakistan #gilgitbaltistan #karakoram #ghanche #skardu #deosai #ig_pakistan #bikepacking #biketouring #diy #travel #mountains #fitness #adventure
