Just a quickie post before my laptop dies. Some photos of this weekends 8 Hour of Labor Mountain Bike Race. Some other great posts can be found at GMan

  My friend and training partner Zephanie is moving to Pocatello Idaho and last night was the good bye party. it was all good and it started out with pizza from The Bridge Pizza. [lost the rest of this post somehow]

My good friend Paul Bardis wrote up a great piece about my journey to the Worlds last month and it got published in Vermont Sports. I used to grace their pages back in the day (check it) and it is nice to see the love and support from my North Country peeps. Click the image…

I just woke up from a weird dream about a wounded elephant. What was that about? And then moments later I sit here at work with a tweaked back. How did I tweak it? Don’t know, only that I was late for work and thrashing about the apartment gathering what I would need while I…

So yea got off work and biked down Orange Street to the trailhead at the I90 exit. I usually go straight up to a ridge top and come back down for a recovery hike. Takes about 40 minutes and only 400 feet elevation gain. Perfect for recovery. On this hike I decided to do a…

Now, some folks might point the finger at the Carbo Rocket (you know, that “miracle fuel” everyone’s raving about), but here’s the kicker: my…

So I have no photos to post and today was a bad day for me, mostly my fault, but nurtured by my …. hmm, what was I saying?

Didn’t get much done today but I did try. One thing I did get done was to rebuild my Turner. All the bearings and pivots were froze up. I went to pedal it on the stand and it required tremendous force because of the derailleur pulleys and bearings in the wheel all gummed up. It…

Paul Bardis and me, we hit the road to Glen Pond, tucked away in the Bitterroot Mountains near Saint Mary’s. Me and Paul? We go way back, sharing a thick book of adventures.
