About Me

Thrukon is a 2500 mile sub-arctic glacial survey on two motorcycles through sections of British Columbia, Yukon Territory and Alaska. The survey team hopes to observe and document important glaciers along the route north, while attempting to capture the spirit of exploration. The general approach for the trip will be part travel documentary and part research survey, which will involve riding motorcycles equipped with the necessary gear for field research, camping and video/photo documentation; as well as limited spares for any unforeseen events. This blog is the repository for all of the information gathered in preparation for and during the journey.

Casitas to Ojai

After riding around town trying to get some easy break in miles on the engine, I was looking for a route that would offer a type of riding that more closely resembles the trip up to Anchorage. Coincidentally my friend Simon had invited me along on a ride from LA over to Ojai and Lake Casitas with his friend Evan, who had an excellent little loop planned. It was only about 160 miles around, but we took most of the day and stopped to check out some of the scenery.
