Colorado to California

What an amazing drive back from Pikes Peak. We followed the Colorado River all the way from it’s home state.

Through Utah and Arches National Park, along some of the most amazing roads I’ve ever seen.

Through Monument Valley at sunset, and down through Arizona.

Through the Grand Canyon. At sunrise.

To the simply awesome Route 66. What an amazing end to two months in this beautiful country.

It genuinely hurts to say that this will be my last post from the United States. For now at least. Hopefully I will return very soon.

Tomorrow I leave for Romania, and Drift Allstars in Constanta. I don’t get very much sleep any more, but when I do, I know I’ll be dreaming of the day I come back.

If you want to see the route I took from Denver to Los Angeles, you can see it here.

Pikes Peak – Friday

What an experience this morning was. I showed up at Pikes Peak off of a last-minute flight, at 3am, with no sleep. I wasn’t prepared for anything.

The altitude made everything harder – the cold, the lack of air. It was a cocktail of human suffering.

My hands froze to capture these images. They still hurt now, as I type this.

And yet, with all of that said, Pikes Peak is the greatest event that I have ever attended.

The landscape…

The diversity of vehicles…

It all comes together. It’s perfect.
