Pizzeria Locale – Boulder, CO

OK….I keep trying to work on my cross racing pics from both Cross Vegas and from Boulder CX. However…..I keep running into food pictures and get distracted. Geepers this was a good trip. So in an effort to free my mind of great food and good times with friends, I am going to post a […]

Fatbike ramblings

As I head out to Intebike I leave you all with a sort of brain dump of fatbike ramblings that have been going on in my head. No doubt will I see fatbikes everywhere at this year’s show. I mean EVERYWHERE. Wow. Eurobike had 30+ suppliers showing a fatbike of some sort. But….I don’t really […]

Touring the Root River trail with Kids

Last weekend our family enjoyed a bike tour in one of Minnesota’s most popular biking destinations, the Root River Trail. I’ve known of this area for many years. I’ve heard about it being the Bed & Breakfast capital of Minnesota. I’ve seen presentations of the economic impact of cycling. I’ve heard from droves of people […]

The last days of summer

It’s hard to believe summer is over. It’s even harder to believe that my twins are off to middle school tomorrow! Holy cow, where did the time go? This last week we crammed everything we could into summer. Friends. Bike riding. Family time. Swimming. More friends. It was glorious. I’ll be back talking about our […]

Friday Ride Stoke – A ride in the country

I snuck away from the dirt to work Friday with a morning in the country. I got the hankering for some gravel and the smell of the country. Turned out to be just what I needed. Today’s post is short. Just wanted to say hello and share a pic of my favorite corn crib. I […]

4 in a row

Last Friday marked my 4th straight Friday dirt to work through the Minnesota River Valley. Dirt to work Fridays give me 40 miles of fatbike riding through the sandy singletrack of the valley. If you are keeping track, you know that my riding has been inconsistent at best. The fact that I made 4 in […]

Riding with my daughter

This past few weeks have been amazing for me and for my family. Our schedule has been just slightly less than full tilt. I’ve been riding and preparing my gear for my fall fatbike tour. I’ve also been riding with my kids. This past week was also mountain bike camp/school for my kids. They spent […]

River Bottoms Domination

For the 3rd Friday in a row, I was able to pull of a Friday Dirt To Work River Ramble. It is so unbelievably great that I can ride this valley into work and even more great than I get to ride to work with many of my friends (and coworkers). It makes what I […]

The film dumping grounds

Recently, my desk at work has become the dumping grounds for film, old cameras and misc old photo gear that no one wants to deal with anymore. Honestly, I don’t mind one bit. In recent months I have been on the receiving end of a really nice old filter set, 35mm film, 12omm film, an […]

Ride more….Shoot less!

This past week has been a revelation for me. Despite being a solo dad for almost a week while my wife was in London, I somehow had one of the best weeks of riding that I can remember. Even though schedules were a bit crazy, I found time to do what I love. Dang it […]

Friday Morning River Ramble

I finally got out to the Minnesota River Valley. I’ve been itching for some longer time in the saddle. I knew due to the flooding over the past couple of months that the river bottoms would be muddy, sandy and filled with debris. I got exactly what I planned for and hoped for. It was […]

Ride Stoke

Sometimes pictures say more than words. This picture may be my personal favorite shot of the year and I just want to share it. Get out and enjoy your weekend.

Shooting the All City Championships Bandit Cross Race

For those watching, All-City has worked it’s way into my heart and when I look into my bike arsenal, I find that I now have 3 All-City’s in my quiver. I simply love steel bikes and I love what All-City is doing. (Disclaimer Alert: I also work with All-City). I started following what A-C was […]

Souris Valley – North Dakota big country

I am a little behind in my posting but the memories of my trips and my rides are fresh and at the front of my mind. When I need to escape the hustle & bustle of the city, as well as my stress from work, I often escape to my memories of the Souris River […]

Utah – The whole week in one post

I got back from my place of employments annual event in Utah. SaddleDrive is a private event showing off new products from our brands as well as some other select vendors. It’s my 4th trip to Utah for this event and while the event was likely the best, it lacked a few things for me, […]
