6/19 to 6/21/2016 – Well it’s been a beautiful summer here in NW Montana, and the bicycling, running, and general adventuring has been top tier… hence why posts are still just barely trickling out and are months behind! Anyways, this little photo story is from a 3-day/2-night experiment in bikepacking around Hungry Horse Reservoir with additional […]

Unfortunately, our prime-time to go for it (early fall) was eaten up by previous family plans and weddings, so the trip kept getting […]

Grete’s mother, Diane, has been plugging away at the Colorado Trail over the past few years with a stout goal of hiking every section […]
Read more "The Colorado Trail (hiking this time)"3/13/14 – Well Jonny showed up for a week of skiing in mid-March and, given the stable conditions, he and those around him were able to get after it… Grete showed him and another friend, Bryce, the goods all week long around Silverfork, Solitude, and Big Cottonwood Canyon while I was stuck at work. When […]
Read more "The Northwest Couloir of the Pfeifferhorn"6/10 to 6/12/2014 – After a couple weeks of non-stop rafting work, Grete and I needed an escape, if only for a couple of days. To get away, we headed west to Fruita, CO to bike, camp out and celebrate her birthday. We arrived at Fruita’s desert mountain bike trail system during the heat of the […]

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 […]

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 […]
