2015 Favorite Images

As I point to the future that I hinted at in the last post calling out focus and direction, I am sharing a few of my favorite shots of 2015 with you along with a few words about each of them. I am working to close out this season on a high note sharing my […]

A Restart

This past weekend I left town with a few incredible people with the intent of riding, shooting and laughing. I needed it. What for you ask? To reset….Or to Restart. Let me explain. I have let life get the best of me this year. I lived up to my work hard play hard mantra but […]

People of 2015

One of the things that I have personally been inspired by is people. Some of you that know me know that I have said out loud that I want to learn to take portraits. Some of you that know me, also know that when I say stuff out loud and set my mind to it, […]

Bunyan Velo Night of Adventure

Last evening was the Bunyan Velo Night of Adventure. It’s the second night of adventure organized on by Lucas of Bunyan Velo and hosted by Angry Catfish Bicycle and Coffee. It was an incredible evening of cured meats from Red Table, beer from Lake Monster Brewing, and music by Ben Weaver. Several speakers came into […]

Cross Vegas 2015 – A few pics

Good day folks. It’s been a while. Since I last wrote I’ve traveled to Las Vegas for Interbike 2015. For those new here I HATE Las Vegas. It must be something like 15 trade shows in this dump and it represents most things I hate. Honestly, I think the industry I work in deserves better […]

My new All-City – First Ride

The planets finally aligned and the weather cooperated, giving me the opportunity to do the Friday AM ride before work. Aside from the greatness that is being able to ride my bike with a friend, drink some coffee and see the sunrise, it was the maiden voyage for my new All-City Cycles Macho King, Team […]

SaddleDrive 2015

I spent much of this week in Utah at an event put on by my employer. For the last 5 years, SaddleDrive has been a pilgrimage to Utah to ride and release new products. While it is a work event, each year I do try to sneak out in between our Rep day and our […]

All-City Championships Women’s Street Crit

I finally got my sorry butt out and about the city. I’ve been dying to go downtown to ride and shoot. So…When I had the opportunity to go out and shoot the late evening All-City street crit, I took it. I grabbed my Fuji XT1 and the 16mm and 90mm lenses and hit the streets. […]

Trans Iowa V11 – My Photo Story

I mentioned last week that I had a surprise for you. The surprise was that I went down to shoot Trans Iowa. The surprise was that I did not tell my good friend Guitar Ted that I was coming but I had arranged a ride in the official photo vehicle of Wally Killburg and Studio […]

Frostbike Bite

Seriously I am not dead. Just busy. Busy and good. Busy and blessed. It’s been a long two weeks with a family trip to MN’s North Shore and Frostbike (an industry event we put on each year) week. It’s still going too, but will end for me this coming Friday. Yeah! Frostbike took a bite […]

MN River Crawling

I finally have come out of my desert rambling dream and accepted that I am in Minnesota and I need to both prepare and embrace the next several months of winter. As a break in, my buddy John and I got out to ride over our Thanksgiving holiday weekend. As we headed out I found […]

2014 Minnesota State CX Pics

I only managed to get out to the senior mens/u23 race today but it was worth it. Temps were in the mid 50’s with overcast skies. The snow had mostly melted. The course was a black, muddy track. It was like a giant shadowbox everywhere! I could not have asked for better cross weather. I […]

Cold & Lonely Miles

I’ve been trying to get some miles in before my fatbike tour that is coming up all too quickly. So when my daughter had a soccer game south of town in Northfield, I decided to ride to the game. I left early when the sun was out. I was thinking it was going to warm […]

Birthday ride

As I posted yesterday, it was our twins’ birthday. This whole weekend really ended up being their birthday. On the rare Saturday where my boy doesn’t have some activity, we found ourselves out riding. Who am I to deny when my boy asks “Can we go mountain biking?” Yes we can. Yes we can. Our […]

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 […]
