NLLTL Adventure Cam Vol. 15 // Mehdi Farsi

When JP asked my to contribute to No Life Like This I jumped on the opportunity.  Arizona is home of some great riding and I have lots of pride in my home State. I felt this was a great time to showcase some of the better riding.

Our chief tech Mike Morross (Mike the Bike) arranged a ride on Valentine’s Day to Canyon Lake.  Mike, my Dad- Homay, and I had a great day on the bike. Hope you enjoy the shots.

One great thing about living in Arizona is the weather.  Notice the short-sleeves in the middle of February.

Me and my Dad.  This photo set is a tribute to his guidance. When I was younger he exposed me and my brother to the sport of cycling. I remember growing up and watching the grand tours during the Summer nights with him. We were lucky enough to travel to see the Tour De France when I was in high school.  At the time, I didn’t appreciate it as much as I probably should have but those experiences have shaped who I am today. I am now immersed in the cycling industry and most of my leisure time is spent riding as well. I have met some of my best friends through cycling and had some amazing experiences along the way. I really owe it all to my Dad.
