Shibuya Station – Tokyo, Japan

Good night Shibuya and good bye Tokyo. Japan you have been good to me. Until next time. Arigato.

Kyoto, Japan

Many of the people I have met here in Japan love the city of Kyoto. Now I know why. It is a beautiful city filled with such beauty and history. It is a must see in Japan. I could spend days riding around Kyoto taking pictures.

The tour begins

After a late night of amazing food with good friends the tour begins. We also got a look at the map for the first time. This is going to be incredible.

Sunset over Lake Superior

I was looking back through images related to my friends in Japan. I’ll see them again in about a week. I was preparing some images that I am printing as gifts for them. I ran across this photo of my friend Shuji and it made me get lost, dream and imagine. So…I played with it […]

Sunrise – Fort Snelling

It’s been a while since I shared a good sunrise photo. Part of this is because I haven’t been riding as much in the early morning. Part of it is that when I do actually get to ride in the AM, I haven’t been stopping to take pictures. Yesterday morning, I just had to stop. […]

Cuyuna Mtb Trails

Just a quick follow up from yesterday’s going to the well post. I went to the well. Bikes, good people and sweet trails once again delivered! Thank you Cuyuna. Thank you friends.

Old Point Loma Lighthouse – San Diego, California

It’s Friday and I have a great day planned. I’m taking a vacation day and heading out into the country on my Fargo. Yes, I said my Fargo. It’s been too long since I’ve gone exploring on my favorite bike. It’s about dang time. I am so excited. Hopefully, I’ll get a photo or two […]

A wild morning

I live near Lebanon Hills Park. Lebanon Hills is an amazing place. I have biked, skied, hiked, kayaked, camped and canoed all just 1-2 miles from my home. It is one of the reasons we moved to this location 5+ years ago. There is this lake that I drive or bike by this lake everyday […]

Up North – Random Moments

Other than a photo for Friday, today is my last post writing about up north. It was a great time with great people. While the primary reason for this entire trip was to ride fatbikes, we also took time to hike and explore and the beautiful surroundings we were in. It isn’t always just about […]

Up North – Ride #1

We arrived in Duluth, MN around noon at the meeting place, the Tot Lot on Canal Park road. Eki was there already as was Ben. After some brief intros Farrow showed as well. I was excited to ride the beach but given the 12+ inches of fresh snow on the ground, we didn’t really know […]

Up North – Ride #3

I finally am getting my images and thoughts processed from this past week up north riding fatbikes (Salsa Mukluks) with friends. It was an incredible time. I usually do recaps and stories in chronological order, but this time I’m just doing them as they come to mind. I’m starting with ride #3 simply because it […]

Up North on fatbikes

Recently, I had some friends come from Japan for work. They were here for Frostbike. I wrote about it on the Salsa blog last week. It was a great time. One thing I realized when identifying and pulling content to my new website is that I often don’t write or feature any content from work. […]

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 […]
