  • Rainy days

    It rained last weekend. Not to be held out of the woods Mo and I gladly received a big dose of hypothermia to go waterfall watching. I took twenty photos but the best two are not what you call traditionally “good”. One has water spots and the other a panorama with the waterfall totally ignored. …

  • Day 2 from the other side

    Yesterday was a great ride but actually I was unsuccessful at completing my goal of riding from Middle Cottonwood to Truman Gulch. So today I tried again … in reverse. So I rode up Truman Gulch Trail. IT started out the exact opposite as yesterday.  It was nice out in the morning and the weather…

  • Middle Cottonwood to Bridger Foothills Trail

    I woke up, wrote down my itinerary for the day, and said goodbye to a sleepy Mo. My plans were to to ride up Middle Cottonwood and then North on the Bridger Foothills Trail. From there I would come out at Truman Gulch. The ride to the trailhead was wet and it looked like storms…

  • What is next?

    What is on tap for this weekend?  I wonder this. And at the same time try and draw from last weekend’s ride around Hyalite Lake. I have been posting photos from this trip so maybe I should give a little narration.  And by doing this maybe can come up with some adventure ideas for this…

  • Hyalite

  • Monday memories

    Yesterday Mo and I went to Hyalite and rode around the lake. Super fun and took some pretty awesome photos (coming soon). It’s nice to be outdoors again riding among the wildflowers. Now … back to work … yuk.

  • Discrepancy part 4

    Carrie shrieked and looked into the receiver. “No freaking dial tone … shit” “But … this is the same diner I used to … oh no” “What” “This is the intermingled suspicious theory. This phone only works in the brain-machine interface theory” A hand grabbed my shoulder. “I am Hans. This all must end. You…

  • Discrepancy part 3

    In the time we have been together Carrie and I have traveled to not only the suspicious theory that we extracted from but others as well. For myself I come from the brain-machine interface. Two men, John and Jacob, entered from outside my machine, directly connecting their brain to the machine. For years the machine…

  • Discrepancy part 2

    In transit, or as we as we call it an extraction, there is a moment of pause. It isn’t a perfect process and we have lost some. But I have been through it so many times I just relax and take a mental break. A break from the chaos … from the consistent fear. My…

  • Discrepancy part 1

    The year is now 2112. I think of it as 99. In a couple months it will be 100 but even that theory is in jeopardy. Why 99?  Because it is … or has been 99 years since … “Libby they are coming … we need to get out of here fast”, Carrie shouts. “We…

  • The last lap

    The Art Of Racing 24 Hours :: I was being hoisted high. But I don’t mind because I knew what it meant. In 24 hour solo racing no one remembers the bike. It is said that a racer whispers to his bike things.  Memories and words spoken late at night when all seems lost. When…

  • The next 12 hours

    Lap 11 felt better but not optimal.  My stomach was fine and I had not cramped all day.  The problem was my lack of caloric intake yesterday. As someone I respect is preaching, “Hydration in a bottle and nutrition in your pocket”, I seemed to be struggling with the nutrition in the pocket deal. But…

  • The first 12 hours

    Mo and I set up our pit and camped out Friday night before the 24 Hours of Round the Clock. We got a optimal spot right on pit row. Morning of the race I went over my new plan … that is to pace myself and try a new hydration scheme. After the first lap…

  • Gone to 24 Hour of Round The Clock

    Of course there is my Facebook page but really that isn’t a good resource for following someone’s progress.  So here is my Twitter feed to the right. This weekend I will be attending the 24 hours of Round the Clock in Spokane Washington.  So until I return you can visit this page for updates.  Our…

  • Dismount

    Today I am working remote but not much work was accomplished due to my ever increasing distraction of a upcoming behemoth effort. Tomorrow  we leave for the 24 Hours of Round the Clock in Spokane Washington. OK! back to work … Ok I am back but darn if I feel ready.  I think I need…

  • Waiting to long

    We had been climbing for about and hour so I stopped to take some photos and to wait for my partner to catch up. Recovering from a recent injury she was taking her time.  I had a chance to take a big breath and take in the sights.  Sure is nice to live in such…

  • Dentist

    Today I headed to the dentist and for the first time in 10 years or so had the chompers looked at.  A nice woman worked on them and did her best to rough up my gums.  I got to meet the lead dentist who I may add is a super nice guy.  I like them so…

  • Pack time

    My visitor has gone home and I am now in complete realization that I need to get ready for the 24 Hours of Round the Clock. My plan is to get the Turner built up for a spare bike and work on my 24 Solo List so that tomorrow I can just gather and pack.
