10/12/2013 to 10/17/2013 – While having a glorious conversation with Jonny Cromwell in mid-September, discussing adventures during his summer in Glacier Point, Alaska and his plans (or lack there of) for the fall and winter, we came to the conclusion that another bicycle trip was in order. A couple weeks later, Grete and I happened […]
Read more "The Kokopelli Trail"9/12/2013 to 9/19/2013 – This is the story of Dave, Grete and my ride of the first half of the Colorado Trail (Denver to Buena Vista). It was each of our first endeavors in bikepacking, and was one hell of a great ride. The words for this post were generously provided by Grete Gansauer and […]
Read more "This is Going to be Fun…"Just to keep you all up to date… photos will be coming sooner or later concerning last winter, spring, and summer as well as this fall. It has been a busy post-rafting season which has allowed no time for editing but I am going to work harder than ever before to get up stories this […]
Read more "Its Been a Tremendous Fall"10/2/2013 – A short written piece, by close friend Jonny Cromwell, and a few of my photos were published in Bunyan Velo’s 3rd Issue (link)! Check out pages 128-137 for our first published bit of work discussing a bit of the Great Divide Basin from last fall! Also, read the rest of the magazine (and […]
Read more "Published!"10/4/2012 to 10/6/2012 – 6:30am is a rough time to wake up on a bicycle tour, especially when its below 15 degrees outside. Rolling out of our sleeping bags in Ferndale, MT was not easy, but we had to get our camp packed up and out of the way for a morning church meeting. So […]
Read more "Ferndale, MT to the Canadian Border (…and Back to Colorado)"9/25/2012 to 10/3/2012 – After waking up in the KOA we headed straight for Bad Beaver Bike Shop where we had arranged for Dave’s replacement parts to be dropped off. Unfortunately, the parts were another day out from arriving, so we headed to the library to catch up on all things internet. Shortly after checking […]
Read more "Butte, MT to Ferdale, MT"9/17/2012 to 9/24/2012 – Waking up in the beautiful, albeit smokey, GTNP was inspiring. We were surrounded by RVs but the campground woke up slow, so the usual drone of generators and general racket of modern luxury camping was absent. We ate breakfast, broke camp and headed north along Jackson Lake. Traditionally the route takes a hard […]
Read more "Grand Teton National Park, WY to Butte, MT"9/8/2012 to 9/16/2012 – It was a melancholy morning waking up at Antelope Reservoir, knowing that our good buddy Jonny was leaving the tour. We said our goodbyes, had a morning beer and hit the dirt road headed further into the Great Divide Basin. From here on out, the ride was just Dave and I. […]
Read more "Antelope Reservoir to Grand Teton National Park, WY"9/4/2012 to 9/8/2012 – After resting up and getting inspired by some bike racing (to ride faster? yeah right!) we hit the road again and finally hopped onto the Great Divide Route. The ride took us up along the Elk River, where we saw our only bear of the trip (small black bear), Jonny learned […]
Read more "Steamboat Springs, CO to Antelope Reservoir, WY"8/27/2012 to 9/2/2012 – The Great Tour started as one of the most tossed together plans imaginable. About a week and a half before the end of an unfortunately short rafting season in Colorado, and before Jonny’s Leadville 100 race, I was wondering what I was going to do with over 2 months of shoulder […]
