Friday Ride Stoke

One more picture from California. This is at dusk outside of Idylwild, California. We started heading out at dusk. This shot is just below the Speed of Light Deflector. Love the color and depth in the sky. Riding sweet singletrack doesn’t hurt either! Have a great one. I’ll be back next week with more from […]

SC Take 2 – Color

Today I share a similar story to take 1 in B&W. While these pictures tell a similar story, I am guessing you may get a different feeling from this set. Partly due to my intentional experimentation with processing as well as these images show a bit more difficulty and suffering than the first set. Anyway, […]

SC Take 1 – B&W

Today I share with you quite a few images from my recent trip to southern California. Before I share the images, I want to let folks know that I am still processing my thoughts. Part of that process is working through the images and memories. For me personally, the images tell my experiences better than […]

The Crew @ Fish Creek Canyon wash

This is probably my favorite image as well as my favorite group shot from last week. I took it toward the end of second day. We were tired and weathered already. We paid for every mile up to this point. The moment captured above we stopped to not only rest in the shade, but take […]

Home

Just a very quick update that I have made it home from my little vacation and journey. Off loading pictures as I write this. I went into this trip with a pretty solid plan for the ride and a vision for my images. Despite that, this trip didn’t turn out as planned in terms of […]

South Metro Metric MTB Ride

I posted yesterday about my new fatXC bike. I’ve been riding a lot of fatbike lately. Last week I did a fairly long fatbike ride I call the South Metro Metric MTB Ride. Ride to Leb and ride a lap. Ride to Terrace Oaks and ride a lap. Ride to Murphy and ride a lap. […]

Living Life

I’ve mentioned before that my life is full. There is little down time in our family. That’s not a complaint. We try to make do with what we have been given. We are thankful for the opportunities we have and the people that have been put around us. All in all, we are having an […]

The Coffee Ride(s)

Well….I think I started something new today. I’m calling them the coffee rides. Ben Witt and I have talked about it before and today we made our inaugural attempt. What is the coffee ride? It’s a casual early morning no drop group ride that starts and ends at a coffee shop and could involve making […]

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.

Tokyo Sanja Matsuri Festival – Sony E Mount 50mm f1.8

I am finally getting around to putting my thoughts and images together from my recent trip to Japan. Today I bring you some images from the Sanja Matsuri Festival held in Tokyo. Before I get into the images, I want to share a few bits of information about my trip and the images I will […]

Up North – Winter 2012

A little over a year ago, some friends and I went up to northern Minnesota for a little fatbike trip. Upon returning, I said I wanted to back with more folks around the same time the following year and a plan was hatched. The plan was to head to Minnesota’s North Shore and ride fatbikes […]

Alaska 2011 – Take 1

Originally posted August 18, 2011 The last time I took this flight from Minneapolis, MN to Anchorage, AK was almost 20 years ago. I was headed to Alaska on a grand bicycle tour. I was young, foolish, and filled with ambition. I was on a journey from Alaska to Utah. As I looked out the […]

2010 Dirty Kanza – My Race Day

Orginally posted June 8th 2010 I’m still sorting out race day. It feels sort of like a movie that begins by showing the last scene first followed by clips and scenes leading up to the fateful ending. My day ended early. Earlier than I planned. Here is my story. (Warning – This is a long […]

Gnat’s 2010 Fargo Adventure Ride

Orginally posted June 22, 2010 After what felt like a very short evening, Mark, MG & I had breakfast. Everyone knows that every good bike ride starts with donuts and coffee so who are we to change that? As GT and MG powered up, I secretly wondered if it would be only us three for […]

2011 Dirty Kanza in pictures

Orginally posted on June 7th, 2011 Still can’t come up with words to recap my race. Since folks have been writing and texting me wondering how I’m doing and if I am OK here is the short version. I felt great strength wise and as I wrote yesterday, I felt strong into 100 miles. I […]
