The Desert Teaser and Tromp

A quick and busy trip to Colorado and NW Utah. Trail runs. Bike rides, Rocks. Hikes. Flowers. Boats. National Parks. This area has it all.

SaddleDrive 2015

I spent much of this week in Utah at an event put on by my employer. For the last 5 years, SaddleDrive has been a pilgrimage to Utah to ride and release new products. While it is a work event, each year I do try to sneak out in between our Rep day and our […]

Why am I here?

I think at least everyone that somehow landed here at my little place on this digital planet has asked themselves at least once “Why am I here?” I think deep down it is what keeps those folks curious. Why? I know I’ve been asking lately. To my surprise last Sunday’s sermon was about “why? and […]

Desert Ramble – The People!

After a week of exploring the desert southwest with 9 others and after 17 hours of driving, I am back in MN. I left the desert tired & inspired and returned to snow. Crazy. Yet, even with snow I can’t curb my enthusiasm for this past trip. While it didn’t go as planned, it took […]

Utah – The whole week in one post

I got back from my place of employments annual event in Utah. SaddleDrive is a private event showing off new products from our brands as well as some other select vendors. It’s my 4th trip to Utah for this event and while the event was likely the best, it lacked a few things for me, […]

A lotta Friday Ride Stoke

My friend John told me last night that he needed a little Friday Ride Stoke to kick this coming week off. So….Given I am in the mountains today I figured I’d share more than one ride stoke from Utah. How about a lotta Friday Ride Stoke? I took these images over the last couple of […]

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 […]

Friday Ride Stoke – Thunder Down Under

I can’t believe how fast these weeks are going by. It’s Friday and that means Friday Ride Stoke. This one comes to you from the mountains of Utah. I love this shot. I printed this in a 13 x 19 for myself. I am working this weekend but should have the opportunity to shoot quite […]

2012 Film Project – Ektar 100 in Utah

I am settling back in from my trip up north. As I mentioned yesterday, I have a hard drive issue (It is full!) so I can’t upload my images from up north. I hope to solve that in the next day or so. Thankfully, I had scanned all my July film images prior to this. […]

Union Station – Ogden, Utah

Whenever I travel, I try to find some time to explore the community a bit. I like to head into the heart of a city or place on a walk or bike ride with my camera. No real mission in mind. I just like to see a new city and give my mind freedom to […]

Road, Mountain & ?

Well, I made it back. What a week it has been. New bikes. New trails. New roads. New friends. I have a lot more to share but I haven’t been able to get my thoughts sorted. I may be back a bit later today or tonight with an updated post. Until then, here are a […]

Out West

Just a short one today as I am finishing up some business in Utah before returning home. I am also headed out for an early morning shoot that I am very excited about. I have a couple of special spots scouted for a new bike from Salsa Cycles. Should be a sweet morning. I will […]
