Tokyo – Final Hours

My friend and coworker Kelly Mac sent this image to me this week. It made me smile. It was taken in the final hours of the Salsa Japan Tour 2012 while out walking in Tokyo. That’s a chocolate covered banana on a stick! Oh….and a cold Asahi. I loved every minute in Japan. Enjoy your […]

End of Season

Last evening was the last game of the spring season. Both my kids were in soccer. I am so proud of both of them. It was so fun seeing them, and their teams, progress this year. It is amazing how much faster each year gets. I did not have time to go through all the […]

Morning @ Murphy

Yesterday, I got some saddle time at Murphy with Benton. We met early (6:00AM) not expecting to see anyone. I figured we’d be doing the cobweb sweep. Thankfully someone else was crazy enough to be hitting dirt at 6:00AM and he rolled out a few minutes ahead of us clearing the trail. It was a […]

Floats like a butterfly….

…..Stings like a bee. Fat XC.

A Redwood Tree in an Apple Orchard

Somewhere along the way, I have lost my path. While I still feel I’m moving forward, I somehow feel it’s not the intended direction. I sort of feel like I’m going down a gravel road on my bicycle with a very, very strong side wind and rather than fight against it, I’ve let it push […]

Left out

I got in late last night from North Dakota. Our family gathering was great as was my big ride in the big country. I thought we’d get in earlier yesterday and that I’d have time to process a bunch of images. But…That did not happen. I am cooked and my mind and body feel like […]

Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day fathers! Have some fun with your kids today!

Random Thoughts and Images

I’ve written before about how busy life is right now. It’s still going strong, but I’m starting to feel a change on the horizon. It’s a long ways away, but it’s at least visible. Not much time to write, but I have been taking pictures. Here’s a brief snapshot of what I’ve been up too. […]

Getting Fat to Get Lite

Maybe it’s because I have seen Reveal the Path movie 5 times since last Thursday and all I can think about is beach riding on my Mukluk in Alaska, but it’s June and I find myself dreaming of riding fatbikes. So much so that I am going to commit to riding my fatbike as my […]

Tonight is the Reveal the Path movie premiere tonight in Minneapolis. Click here if you want to find out more or see if there is a screening planned in your area already. I’m pretty darned excited about this. I know I’ll get to see many of my good friend this evening. I also got to […]

Burning Sky

Just one picture and no words today other than to say I really enjoyed the sunset last night. I knew the sky was going to light up so I grabbed my camera and headed to the back yard. Incredible evening watching the sun fall to the horizon and the sky light up.

Tokyo Sanja Matsuri Festival

I’m having a bit of trouble getting the code right to post to my site today. Just in case you missed the new sticky post in my header area of the Tokyo Sanja Matsuri Festival, here is the link. Click on the picture below.

Memorial Day

Fallen Star

I am so cooked. I feel like this dead starfish I found on the beach near Saikai, Japan. I think the schedule has caught up with me. Thankfully I am at home today to rest, drink coffee, put my Fargo together and edit photos so I can post some Japan images and experiences. Gonna be […]

Looking to the past

image courtesy of http://www.dpreview.com It seems that more and more everyday I am turning to the past to find inspiration and personal motivation. Right now I have an affinity for film cameras, old form factor and mid 1950’s road bikes. I don’t really know exactly why, but I think it is rooted in the form […]
