12 Hours in Photos in Anchorage, Saturday 8/15

My twelve hour photo opus is a combination of breakfast, book buying, bike riding, and clothing purchasing. It was one of the last days of summer vacation for me. Today, in fact, was my first day with students.

Things are looking good from a classroom perspective. Weather is cooling, my alarm is going off way too early, and football is in full swing. All good signs elderly fall is exuding its subtle influence on our realm. Onward.

(Breakfast) = Maple-Pecan Granola + Banana + Milk (not pictured)

Book list between bananas and my last cup of coffee before heading to the bookstore

Book list realized; these two of which I'm looking exceedingly forward

Summer road construction has Debarr closed; detour time

Time for a ride, which ended up being around 33 mi.

Self-portrait, while still riding out of the neighborhood; note my focus on the road

Base of the 1/2 mile hill climb to Kincaid Park--a doozy, I assure you, with no hands on the bar

Anchorage in the distance, headed back East from the Coastal Trail, near where I spotted a black bear earlier this summer

The result of riding on wet roads and over some gritty side roads through Mountain View

Post ride floor scrub session

@ the mall downtown to go "school clothes shopping", as cliche as that sounds, still true
