Friday Ride Stoke

Caught the sunrise this AM. Sweet morning. Going to be a great day.

Fatbike ramblings

As I head out to Intebike I leave you all with a sort of brain dump of fatbike ramblings that have been going on in my head. No doubt will I see fatbikes everywhere at this year’s show. I mean EVERYWHERE. Wow. Eurobike had 30+ suppliers showing a fatbike of some sort. But….I don’t really […]

Looking Back

Last night spiraled out of control for me (In a good way!) As a result, I spent the evening processing about 20 images for a non cycling publication to review. But, since I did spend the evening working on photos, I thought I’d share one that I ran across that jarred my memory and got […]

Autumn Hangs On

Fall and autumn colors are really trying to hang on. Last Friday morning I got out early with a plan to ride Lebanon Hills. As I was heading over, I got distracted by a small lake on the side of the road. I’ve not bothered on stopping because it is on a part of the […]

Why I Do It

I had planned on a second installment of Random Thoughts on Gear today, but yesterdays ride was too good not to share. The images below are all from yesterday. It was one of those perfect fall days that started out well before sunrise. In prepping for an upcoming trip, I also decided to carry some […]

My Rural Urban Commute

Yesterday was a dirt to work day for me. What’s dirt to work? It’s a mostly off road ride to work through the Minnesota River Valley. I like to ride end to end, roughly 17 miles each way plus pavement to the trail and from the trail to work. Many long time blog readers have […]

S-S-P

Shameless Self Promotion – That’s today’s post. Some might remember once I posted about some words I got from Chase Jarvis. One of his old posts read, “Do what you love. Pimp your work.” Today, I get to share my love of mixing bikes and photography and at the same time pimp some of my […]

Fat XC – Gamechanger

This summer I have been riding a fatbike as my primary mountain bike. My fatbike XC bike of choice this summer is a prototype of the new Salsa Beargrease. I find myself loving fatbikes more and more as I find out just what they are capable of. I love the traction. I love the comfort. […]

Fat XC – Oh Yeah!

I’m several days into my fat XC project and I gotta say I am pretty darn pleased. I rode both Saturday and Sunday at Lebanon Hills and tonight I showed up at Murphy for a largish group ride put on by Ben Witt of Milltown Cycles. I had planned to go slow to have fun […]

Sony NEX 7 Impressions, review and pictures

It’s been some time since I’ve written about digital cameras. My mind has been filled with thoughts of film and old rangefinder cameras However, I’ve been shooting digital and just not talking about it that much. What have I been shooting? I’ve been shooting a Sony NEX 7. Some of you may have read my […]

My 2012 Film Project – March

It’s mid April and I’m once again scanning and processing all my film I shot in March. It was a great month as you may have recognized from some recent posts. I shot quite a bit of film and I also got a new to me old Olympus 35RC rangefinder camera that I am quite […]

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 on film

Just 1 month ago I was up in northern MN riding Salsa Mukluks with friends. When I scanned these images two nights ago I was shocked. Not because of the images themselves, although I do like them quite a lot, but because of the SNOW! Wow. Just one month ago we were riding in a […]

Up North – Random Moments

Other than a photo for Friday, today is my last post writing about up north. It was a great time with great people. While the primary reason for this entire trip was to ride fatbikes, we also took time to hike and explore and the beautiful surroundings we were in. It isn’t always just about […]

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 […]
