My ride with NCC

Last weekend I was down in Dekalb, Illinois on behalf of Salsa Cycles to support North Central Cyclery . That sounds a lot like work and technically it was. However, I try to find time to ride whenever I go on work trips. Makes work not seem as much like work. This past weekend was […]

Alaska Dreaming

So…About a year ago I was in Alaska on a fatbike beach tour as part of Reveal the Path bicycle film. This past week down in Dekalb, IL I saw the movie again. The Alaska segment of the film made me smile and really got me thinking and remembering my time up in Alaska. Someone […]

Thank you boys

I had a whirlwind weekend that involved driving, riding with Fatbike.com, more driving, riding with North Central Cyclery, a demo day, a Reveal the Path screening, and a long drive home. It was great though. Had a blast thanks to the great people all along the way. Would do it again I a heartbeat. I […]

Heading to Dekalb, IL Reveal the Path Screening

I am headed to Dekalb, Illinois to support my friends and one of my favorite bike shops ever, North Central Cyclery. As you may recall Salsa Cycles, my place of employment, partnered with Mike Dion to produce Reveal the Path bicycle documentary. NCC and a few other Salsa dealers in the area are promoting a […]

Morning Ride

I know I said I’d be out until next Thursday. I just have too much content lately. Here is one shot from yesterday’s Coffee Ride. We had an awesome group. We also were treated to heavy fog and incredible light. I got so darn many good images from yesterday it is crazy. This one really […]

Release

I am sitting here writing with a huge sense of release. Why? Well….In my professional life, this past week was a big deal. At my place of employment, we showed a bunch of new products to dealers, distributors and media. It was a calculated pre launch of our new products with a more public release […]

Hot, hot, hot!

As I wrote earlier in the week, things are feeling a bit more normal. This includes riding. However, the weather isn’t exactly ideal. It is HOT!!!!! Did I mention it is hot out right now? But what’s a guy to do when this is the time you have to ride? Well….you ride. And ride I […]

The Coffee Ride – Take 2

Every once in a while it all comes together as planned. Ben Witt and I have talked about the idea of a coffee ride for some time. The idea is simple. Meet for coffee early in the morning. Ride bikes. Check out new places. Go to work. Last Friday marked our second attempt and it […]

A new day

This past few weeks have been good to me. Gone are the every day chaos that resulted from my choices. Each day is a new day and better than the last. I have been riding my bike. I have been seeing sunrises again. I am inspired and shooting more. I am experimenting with shooting film […]

Morning @ Murphy

Yesterday, I got some saddle time at Murphy with Benton. We met early (6:00AM) not expecting to see anyone. I figured we’d be doing the cobweb sweep. Thankfully someone else was crazy enough to be hitting dirt at 6:00AM and he rolled out a few minutes ahead of us clearing the trail. It was a […]

The Coffee Ride(s)

Well….I think I started something new today. I’m calling them the coffee rides. Ben Witt and I have talked about it before and today we made our inaugural attempt. What is the coffee ride? It’s a casual early morning no drop group ride that starts and ends at a coffee shop and could involve making […]

Long week

It’s Friday. It’s been a long but good week. Lots going on and things are happening. Big things are falling into place. The puzzle is coming together. But…I haven’t really followed through with taking care of myself. Yes, I’ve gotten out for a few long rides, but I have lacked the consistency I need and […]

A wild morning

I live near Lebanon Hills Park. Lebanon Hills is an amazing place. I have biked, skied, hiked, kayaked, camped and canoed all just 1-2 miles from my home. It is one of the reasons we moved to this location 5+ years ago. There is this lake that I drive or bike by this lake everyday […]
