A lotta Friday Ride Stoke

My friend John told me last night that he needed a little Friday Ride Stoke to kick this coming week off. So….Given I am in the mountains today I figured I’d share more than one ride stoke from Utah. How about a lotta Friday Ride Stoke? I took these images over the last couple of […]

A much needed morning in the country

While I should be going through my images from June for my June Image Dump post, I am doing a quick post about my ride in the country yesterday. It was muggy. It was wet feeling. It was foggy and moody. It was just awesome. I really needed that. The recipe for life depicted in […]

Not dead yet!

Hey folks, just back from our annual family trip to North Dakota. I brought Big Blue (my trusty Fargo) too and enjoyed some quality time in the big, big country. I just got home and am offloading images, but here’s one I like. I’ve taken this image each of the last 3 trips to ND. […]

Storm Rolling In

Today I bring to you the first of a series of my favorite pics. I’ll be posting a few images that I love or are super popular on my Tumblr blog. I am super proud to share the first. I call this one “Storm rolling in” and I took it last weekend up in Duluth, […]

My favorite places

I grew up in MN. Trips to Lake Superior were special. I remember the first time I saw Gooseberry Falls. I remember the first time I tried to swim in Lake Superior. I remember the first time at Split Rock Lighthouse and the endless supply of skipping rocks. I could go on and on with […]

Souris Valley, ND – My first big Fargo Adventure – 2008

After the introduction of the Fargo at the GTDRI, I spent some time traveling to both visit family and to also keep testing the Fargo. The bike I was on was still in prototype form and we were still tweaking the bike as it moved to production for introduction to the masses later that fall. […]

Worth waiting for – The forgotten roll of film

Well…..After 4 months I finally developed a roll of film that I started back at the end of February of 2014. When I saw the prints I was once again blown away. Man do I love film. Yeah, these shots below are not 100% sharp, perfectly focused or developed/printed perfectly. Nope. I know folks can […]

Riding with my son

Last Friday I had this great plan. I was planning on working, riding my bike then going to take photos at the pro cycling race that was in town. Somewhere around 5:00 my plan was foiled when I realized I left my camera bag at work in my workspace. Dang it. Fortunately, my neighbor called […]

Father’s Day Fargo Ride

For the second time in a month, my son’s second day of his soccer tournament (Unfortunately, his Sunday Championship game day) got cancelled due to weather. While that is terrible news for him, it was great news for me. I made coffee and quickly headed out in the dark, cold, windy and rainy morning. As […]

The Introduction – GTDRI 2008

It started out with a little bike ride. I had a short tour planned to test out the rig I was riding. I had it loaded up with gear and food. I had planned on camping with some guys on day one, ride the GTDRI and then my wife was driving down with our young […]

Life with my Salsa Fargo

It all started innocently enough. I was working in the garage trying to arrange some parts for the two bicycles I am attempting to build for my twins when I stumbled upon this when I knocked the frameset over in my garage. This bike above is the source of so many trips, friendships and stories. […]

May 2014 Image Dump – Wow, what a month!

As I sat down tonight to review images and memories from May, I knew I had a busy month but until I looked at the images, I didn’t realize just how much I did. I had to trim the pictures quite a bit or we’d have to break these up into two posts. I really […]

Chasing Clouds

I just wrote a couple of days ago about the lesson of taking advantage of what you have rather than focus on what you don’t have. So when my son’s soccer tournament was cancelled due to rain and weather, I took the opportunity to go for a much needed, longer ride in the country. Ahhhh….A […]

Dirt. Dirt. Dirt. Dirt!

Trying to squeeze one more post in for May. Hard to believe we are moving to June already. By my posting, or lack of, it might appear I have been dead but truthfully, I’ve been busy. While I am always busy with home, family and work, I have also been busy riding. A few weeks […]

Thursday Night Lights at the NSC Velodrome

Inspired by my internet friend Wade (SAMOBIKER), I finally got out to the track to spectate and take some track racing images. What a night. Could not have been a better opening night. The infield was packed and I had a blast. I won’t bore you with words. I will just say if you have […]
