Getting Fat to Get Lite

Maybe it’s because I have seen Reveal the Path movie 5 times since last Thursday and all I can think about is beach riding on my Mukluk in Alaska, but it’s June and I find myself dreaming of riding fatbikes. So much so that I am going to commit to riding my fatbike as my […]

Reveal the Path Movie Trailer

I’m pretty darned excited about this movie. Salsa Cycles, my employer, is presenting this movie and I was fortunate enough to be there for some of the shooting of this. No, I didn’t shoot nor am I in the movie, but I got to be there and experience 1 leg of their journey. It was […]

Up North – Winter 2012

A little over a year ago, some friends and I went up to northern Minnesota for a little fatbike trip. Upon returning, I said I wanted to back with more folks around the same time the following year and a plan was hatched. The plan was to head to Minnesota’s North Shore and ride fatbikes […]

Up North – Ride #2

When I set this fatbike vacation and trip up, I had a specific goal, or shall I say experience, in mind. That being provide a big, big day of riding, a trip up to Carlton Peak & Tofte Peak, a trailside cook out and a ride back to our base camp cabin. I wanted to […]

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 […]

A hard look back

Rest stop at north woods shelter Last night I finally processed all my images from the past week of riding fatbikes with friends in northern MN. You know what, I am mostly disappointed with my pictures. Sure I got a few really good ones, and one so good I don’t know what to do with […]

Fatbike Friday

Today’s post is inspired by our friends at Fat-Bike.com. They have put a number of links to my blog. Now it’s time to link mine to theirs. Thanks guys for the Fatbike Friday. Hope you like my edition. It’s also appropriate because I am headed north with a few friends for some Muklukin’ fun on […]

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. […]

My new Salsa Mukluk 2 Build

Originally posted Wednesday, January 18th, 2012 Ok…I’ve been riding this bike for a while and I have been promising the build report. Here it is. Before I get started I want to let folks know that I work for Salsa Cycles. As such, this is just my build and a few thoughts. It is not […]

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 […]
