    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…

    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

    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…
