Once again it’s been a while since I posted on here.  I have no good reason besides I haven’t been compelled to write anything.  Part of it was it was winter and motivation was low, while some of it had to do with my need for things to be just right.  Either way I just haven’t desired to sit down [...]

For a long time now I have laughed, scratched my head, smiled, and at times been dumbfouned by some of the search terms people enter into my websites search feature. I decided to start documenting them. Some times I will make fun of them, other times I will offer help on the subject and some times I will ask “What [...]

So I’ve been here in Colorado for over three months now.  During that time I have fell in love with the state.  I knew I would like it but my list before coming here was short and unproven.  I have put together a longer list of reason why I love Colorado.  I figured now was a good time as I’m [...]

This past weekend brought the final race, round #4, of the Live Train Race Series.  The race was held in Grand Junction at the Canyonview Park Baseball Park.  This was the same location as round #1 but the course was different this time around.  Not only was there a lot less turns and technical features, the course was run in [...]

After last race’s shit show I vowed to get my bike in top working order. A new front chain ring, cleats and one stolen seat post and seat from my road bike and Bessy was good to go. Unfortunately last Sunday I woke with a unexpected hang over and a sore throat. A sore throat could only mean one thing, [...]

It’s been a while since I updated everyone on my where-abouts and what I’ve been up too.  A lot of you already know what I’ve been up to as I have found out I have some dedicated followers of my “Pic of the Day”.  I have been riding my bike a lot.  Probably a little too much.  I have been [...]

I left Durango on a Monday.  I drove north for four hours going through Silverton, Ouray, Montrose, Delta, Paonia, and finally arrived in Carbondale (sometimes called Bonedale).  On the way into town I passed my friend Michele, the only person I know in town.  She was on her way to ride Prince Creek, a local mountain bike trail system.  I joined [...]

I’m going to say 34 but I was hoping it was more like 32.  So for the first time in close to three years my face will see sunshine.  Enjoy the before and after shots of my turning 40.  Thank you to all of you who called or chimed in on Facebook to wish my a happy birthday!   You [...]

So when I got home from Alaska I had a simple list of things to do.  Get a hair cut, see Batman, and have some Chipotle.  This would prove immensely difficult and only two of the three ever happened.  When I got out to my car the tire that had been giving me trouble was complete flat and the bead [...]

So a lot of people want to know what I’m carrying in my trailer. Bike touring is a lot different from hiking and I also get to split some of this stuff with my touring partner Mike. My average dry base weight when on the PCT was about 12 lbs. So far this list is over double that. You can [...]
