December 2012 to April 2013 – My second winter out in the Wasatch I skied alot. I was fortunate to meet a new (and always available) friend and touring partner – Jesse Dudley – who was just as stoked to get out and after the mountains! The season also offered the most snow of my three […]
Read more "The Forgotten Season"2/28 & 3/2/2015 – Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much snow up in Northwestern Montana recently, but -on the plus side- the fatbiking has been excellent. The trails have generally re-frozen or melted out and there is a quality weekly night group ride through Glacier Cyclery that we’ve been enjoying. Also, Grete and I grabbed the “Galloping Goober” […]
Read more "Fatbikes + Skiing = Adventure"I didn’t take my camera along much on last summer’s day trips, but still managed to get a couple photos worth tossing up on the blog… Here we have one of Grete’s favorite free campsites in Crested Butte (up past Gothic), a Bonnie portrait, and two photos from Grete’s valiant Steamboat Stinger race. During the two-day race, […]
Read more "Summer 2014"Late April through early May – After the season had wrapped up in Utah, Grete and I headed to visit my folks in Seattle and to start work on our new summer home… A 1973 Airstream Argosy 24′. The project was all-consuming for roughly three weeks but we occasionally got out for quick hikes and brief […]
Read more "Spring in Washington"10/10/2014 – Back in early October, Bonnie had been craving a big hike for a while, so her and I headed to the Seattle-area classic Mt. Si hike. Turns out the combined 8 miles and 3k’ of elevation gain was a bit too much for our beautiful big girl and she didn’t walk right for the […]
Read more "A Quick Hike With This Pretty Girl…"9/16 to 9/23/2014 – A spontaneous trip out east was in the cards this fall as I had yet to meet Grete’s extended family and our good friends, the Livingstones, were getting married… So we bought tickets and, fresh off of the Colorado Trail, hopped on an airplane destined for NYC! Many of Grete’s cousins, […]
Read more "The North East… I Actually Went There!"11/20 to 11/22/14 – After a failed attempt at the Idaho Hot Springs route, Jonny and I pondered what to do with our bikes and free time. We dreamed of a place where there was less snow, or even no snow… And of course, the Utah desert offered a promise of dryness and beauty, even […]
Read more "The White Rim"1/10/2015 – Here are a couple of shots – from a little fatbike rallying last weekend – to hold you over while I wrap up the final edits on more excellent fatbike adventuring from the fall… Dave and I got out and attempted to ride up towards Buchanan Pass in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. We […]
Read more "Buchanan Pass and Sourdough"11/10 to 11/14/14′ – After the Adventure Cycling Association published its new mountain bike tour route, the Idaho Hot Springs Tour, there was no way to avoid adding it to the shoulder season schedule. Unfortunately, our prime-time to go for it (early fall) was eaten up by previous family plans and weddings, so the trip kept getting […]
Read more "Idaho and Bicycles and November…"10/17 to 10/22/14′ – When you sit in a canoe all day for 6 straight days you learn a few things about this timeless style of exploration. Here are a few things Grete and I picked up while paddling up the 55 mile-long Lake Chelan in late October: 1. Canoeing is like backpacking on water. […]
