Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. - Andre Gide
The mountains have been a way of life for many of us for a long time, and trips like these, most of us yearn for all year long. Then when it comes around, it comes together at the last second, and then you're in it. And while it's happening, it's surreal, and supremely satisfying. Then it's over.
The simple beauty of this b/w pictures is awesome... no need for a big text, you can just look at the pictures and image your own story of an epic ride, a warm fireplace in the evening, awaking in the early hours of the rising day and riding on...
I was there the weekend before last, we did 100km in 2 days. What an incredible place to ride. There is way too much beauty to absorb while your riding, and everyone's pictures turn out absolutely stunning.
Finally a true photo essay, no long-winded (or really hardly any) commentary required. My heart almost stopped when I got to this one: http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/7045684/. Stellar work Margus!
