Friday Ride Stoke – 1 mile

I am back today with a Friday Ride Stoke entry. I’ve been riding quite a bit more and while I may not have something super for every Friday, I certainly plan to post Friday Ride Stokes when I do. Today is one of my favorites. I call it 1-Mile. I have ridden past this spot countless […]

My Ultimate Salsa Fargo Project – Big Blue

Ok…I’ve been working on this project for over a year. After many road blocks and u-turns, it is complete. I am finally spilling the beans on my custom painted Salsa Fargo Titanium adventure bike. With that, I introduce you to Big Blue. Before I get too far, I want to put out a disclaimer in […]

First Reveal – Project Fargo Ti

Still a work in progress and I still need to remove the brakes but here is the first reveal of the direction I went with the project. Took this late last night. Pretty stoked to finish this week. Few final tweaks as well as a few final component selection and it is complete. Only took […]

Friday Ride Stoke – Fish Creek

Here Andrew and Ben head deeper into the canyon. This was still the glorious part of the canyon where we could still ride. I like this shot quite a bit with the canyon wall, the curvy road, blue sky and the rock. Even though I know what comes after this, it still makes me want […]

2012 Film Project – 2 months & 3 rides

It seams I have fizzled a bit on my film project. It’s not that I haven’t been thinking about it nor is it because I no longer enjoy film. Nope. Not at all. I just was planning for my trip to California and knowing I was not going to shoot film on that trip, I […]

Friday Ride Stoke

One more picture from California. This is at dusk outside of Idylwild, California. We started heading out at dusk. This shot is just below the Speed of Light Deflector. Love the color and depth in the sky. Riding sweet singletrack doesn’t hurt either! Have a great one. I’ll be back next week with more from […]

SC Take 2 – Color

Today I share a similar story to take 1 in B&W. While these pictures tell a similar story, I am guessing you may get a different feeling from this set. Partly due to my intentional experimentation with processing as well as these images show a bit more difficulty and suffering than the first set. Anyway, […]

SC Take 1 – B&W

Today I share with you quite a few images from my recent trip to southern California. Before I share the images, I want to let folks know that I am still processing my thoughts. Part of that process is working through the images and memories. For me personally, the images tell my experiences better than […]

The Crew @ Fish Creek Canyon wash

This is probably my favorite image as well as my favorite group shot from last week. I took it toward the end of second day. We were tired and weathered already. We paid for every mile up to this point. The moment captured above we stopped to not only rest in the shade, but take […]

Friday Ride Stoke

Today’s ride stoke comes from a not so little, fall gravel ride my friend Ben Witt and I had a few weeks back. It was a glorious fall day and we headed out in the early morning with a plan to return home sometime later that afternoon. On the roll out we caught some incredible […]

Preparation

My blogs have been kind of short lately. I’d like to tell you what is going on. Besides being busy with home and work, I’ve got two things that are fairly big on the horizon. I expect both to happen here in October. The first is that I have a multi-day bikepacking tour coming up […]

Respect

I was up late last night working on stuff, in fact, I am still up as I post this just after midnight, and I kept finding myself coming back to this image. It made me giggle a little bit when I saw my friend Ben pulling his bicycle off the road and into the ditch […]

Autumn Gravel

I’ve written before how I like to try to sum up a ride, an event or a place in a single picture. Today I bring you Autumn Gravel. This is why I love to live where I live. 2 wheels. 4 seasons. That right there says it all.

Friday Ride Stoke – Bridge out?!

OK…Breaking my self imposed one shot for Friday Ride Stoke rule. Today you get three as they all are an important part of the story. Ride on brothers and sisters. Ride on.

My new 2013 Salsa Fargo Ti

I’ve been asked a few times about my new Salsa Fargo Ti bike. Now that the Salsa Cycles website is up, I can share some info on my favorite ride. For those of you reading this that know me well, you all know how much I love the Fargo. If there ever was a bike […]
