I just beat her up the hill and I lay down to rest. The sun is shinning through the trees, stunning. My eyelids grow heavy … Plattsburgh is a cold place. It is also foreign to me. I am from Montana. And now my cheap Schwinn bike is so inadequate.  Why am I on a…

The Grand Fondo Castle Di Monte was awesome and I couldn’t wait for this year’s installment. Then my partner in crime suggest we do a mountain bike through the Castle Mountains. Or was it my idea?  Don’t know. In any case we started not so early Saturday morning … or was it afternoon. It all…

Well if I am not finished with the RMVQ this post will fire off with a spify photo of a cross race in San Fran.

Mo and I are riding the RMVQ. I set this blog post to fire off to show a photo of a San fran race were a group of racers are rumbling over a crest. I hope a group of my friends are rolling over University beacon with us right now.

Over the top is probably where Mo and i are right now.  Over the top of some mountain in the RMVQ. I set this post to fire off to show a photo of a cross race in San Fran … of a racer going over the top. Fitting.

In San Francisco a “cross” race is a little diffrent then in Montana. I prefer the Caifornia version.

Some people walk through lfe. Some are unsure. And some of us prefer to ride. And sometimes we wait.  For the walkers and the unsure.

Hey, everyone! Here’s another exciting update, complete with all the links you need to dive into the details. The 2012 edition of the RMVQ is just around the corner, with the new Bikepacking edition set to start on the 12th of October. If you’re up for an adventure, join us as we head out at…

I found a new way to get in.  I use the soap dishes around the parameter of the tub to suspend myself above the water.  Then I just lower myself quickly into the icy water.  I hate cold and stepping into a ice bath is just to uncomfortable for me.  Lowering my torso into it…

My full suspension sits in the corner, a lost case. It’s too dirty. Might as well accept it.  My hardtail on the stand awaits the de-bagging and general cleanup.  And in the wings my fatty is awaiting it’s trip to the stand to be geared up for this weekend’s RMVQ. So much work tonight. I…

  The weekly Monday depression has hit me.  More exhaustion from staying awake, traveling, and your basic squeezing as much as possible into a couple days. And now my brain has exited stage left and all ambition is out of town. Time for rest. Maybe go to that place. My eyes are the last stand.…

The soak was a long time coming.  The pools were new and I tried each one. I settled into the older hot one.  But before long it was too much heat and I decided to soak in the 33 degree shade.  While everyone looked on with wonderment I dozed off. I mean why would someone…

Recursion is funny, and weird.  You know what that is? For instance when you have mirrors in front and behind you. You can see your back through the other mirror. But if you continue to look you can also see the mirror that you are looking into now … from another source. And the virtual…

I am excited to go home today. Not because it is Friday. Not that we are going to do a cool adventure in White Sulfur Springs. My bike ride home is brisk and without pause. I cant wait to open the door and be home. A new angle I did not expect. Lots of new…

I felt out of place. I was in Golden Gate State Park and stumbled upon the Conservatory of Flowers.  Yep totally out of place. #1 around tourists. Yes I was a tourist but the disgruntle human hater kind. #2 a flower joint.  Sure I like to take photos of pretty things but this place made…

It has snowed all day long. Funny thing though, even though it snowed all day, the sidewalks were dry and the only snow collecting was in the mountains. Or at least that is what I was guessing. I couldn’t see the mountains. As I walk to my car after work I realize I am cold.…
