infinitely sustainable pace

Trying my hardest to cull it down to the absolute essentials for this 3 leg trip. It’s a crazy itinerary with SSAZ sandwiched between work meetings. A little stressed about the work stuff and feeling under prepared for 50 miles in the desert, but it’s all in the name of fun I guess. Thanks to [...]

…and inside, a little, er, reward for finishing your drink? just a quick one of these. Trails were soft thanks to an entire day of pouring rain on Friday. Saturday was warm and things hadn’t really firmed up enough to have much fun in the woods on the Pugs. It was pretty though. The Caletti [...]

Had my fortune told. According to this ancient, mystical oracle I’m will be a ninja. Perfect. Just gonna ninja my way through the next week at work. Try to keep the sanity. Kinda just like what Doug says. Only I’m a week and a day from getting to the desert, seeing my friends, life living, [...]

I ended this mountain-tastic weekend with a golden hour Pugsley ride up in Waterworks. The busy crowd of snowshoers, hikers and skiers had tracked out the trail network over the weekend, and then abandoned everything to go watch their football game. Seamus and I had the place to ourselves. Riding soft, squeaky snow. Singletrack snow [...]

Crashing on the Pugsley is supposed to be fun. Sliding out of control into 5″ of brand new, fluffy powder. Sounds good, right? It is pretty good. Even when you dig your bars deep into your thigh, leaving a mark and a big bruise through 2 thick layers of clothing. It’s still a fun time. [...]

I was supposed to be in NYC right now, hanging out with my brother and helping out at the web/mobile conference that his company is putting on. However, things are all over super busy and the ‘optional’ trip was starting to stress me out. So I opted out. Good move I think. It’s already been [...]

After a really rad whirlwind trip like that, I relish a weekend at a home catching up on sleep and laundry and grocery shopping and basically trying to reorganize myself as best as possible. With high temperatures in the single digits, this was the perfect weekend to hunker down and get some stuff done. My travel bike needed [...]

More photos from this trip, because I can. In no particular order, without a cohesive story: There’s an amusing story about my trip from Vegas to AZ, amusing to those that know the participants, that is. Ask me about it sometime.    

Sometimes you get lucky. This past weekend was my annual excursion to Las Vegas for a couple of days of meetings. Scheduling hurdles meant those meetings needed to happen all day Saturday and Sunday. That’s a lot of working. And Vegas. At the end of the meeting on Sunday I caught a ride down to [...]

K has pneumonia. An hour in the drugstore yesterday. Waiting waiting waiting. He was not a patient boy. I imagined making a documentary, Drugstore Waiting Area, about an afternoon in the drugstore and all the characters that pass through. Back on the road. Headed west for a few days. A lot of work. Maybe some [...]
