Looking Back to Find My Way Forward

Seems that lately I have finally had the time to think. I won’t say rest, but I will say think. I’ve been riding my bike too. In fact, I’m feeling pretty good. For me, time in the saddle is the best time to think. This time I’ve had both on the bike and off the […]

My new Salsa Warbird – Build and Spec

Before I get started here, you need to know that I work for Salsa Cycles. This frameset is a prototype frameset that was brought in for development purposes. I did not pay for this frameset and one day I will return it to Salsa Cycles. It is very close to final build specifications, but I’m […]

Friday Ride Stoke

That is all. Have a great weekend!

Making do with what you’ve got

Earlier in the week I had the rare opportunity to ride with my both of my friends Ben Witt and Guitar Ted at the same time. Being I was out of town on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I was really pleased to be out and about with my friends, but I had a certain […]

My ride with NCC

Last weekend I was down in Dekalb, Illinois on behalf of Salsa Cycles to support North Central Cyclery . That sounds a lot like work and technically it was. However, I try to find time to ride whenever I go on work trips. Makes work not seem as much like work. This past weekend was […]

Alaska Dreaming

So…About a year ago I was in Alaska on a fatbike beach tour as part of Reveal the Path bicycle film. This past week down in Dekalb, IL I saw the movie again. The Alaska segment of the film made me smile and really got me thinking and remembering my time up in Alaska. Someone […]

Thank you boys

I had a whirlwind weekend that involved driving, riding with Fatbike.com, more driving, riding with North Central Cyclery, a demo day, a Reveal the Path screening, and a long drive home. It was great though. Had a blast thanks to the great people all along the way. Would do it again I a heartbeat. I […]

Friday Ride Stoke – Thunder Down Under

I can’t believe how fast these weeks are going by. It’s Friday and that means Friday Ride Stoke. This one comes to you from the mountains of Utah. I love this shot. I printed this in a 13 x 19 for myself. I am working this weekend but should have the opportunity to shoot quite […]

July Film – Two Rides with Ilford HP5

Getting back to my film series today. Excited to share some pics from a new film, at least new to me. In July I shot two rolls of Ilford HP5. I think I am sort of stuck on Kodak Tri-X 400 pushed to 800 so it’s good to try something new. I really liked the […]

Heading to Dekalb, IL Reveal the Path Screening

I am headed to Dekalb, Illinois to support my friends and one of my favorite bike shops ever, North Central Cyclery. As you may recall Salsa Cycles, my place of employment, partnered with Mike Dion to produce Reveal the Path bicycle documentary. NCC and a few other Salsa dealers in the area are promoting a […]

Scenes from Minnesota’s North Shore

Yesterday was my favorite post of the year and it seemed to have struck a chord with many. I received a quite a few emails & comments as well as a few reposts on Facebook. Thank you all of you. Today I want to share a few less personal images and focus on the beauty […]

Savor Every Moment

At some point in each and every one of our lives, we probably get a slap in the face or wake up call that really makes us remember why we are here. Sometimes it is something tragic that shatters your world. Other times it is something so joyous that we are overcome with happiness. It’s […]

Up North – Entering the BWCA

I finally broke down and put a temporary fix in place for my full hard drive. I just have not had the time to solve my hard drive issue and get my complete data set up the way I wanted it, so I put in a temp solution just so I could get to these […]

Friday Ride Stoke

Yes, it’s Friday. So stoked. Short week of work for me since I was up north Monday thru Wednesday. I plan to start the day with a good ride with Ben, Logan and who knows who else might show up?! That’s how all great Friday’s start, with a bike ride with friends. Today’s Friday Ride […]
