8/3 to 8/19/2022 – Another year, another tandem tour! For 2022 we were torn on a variety of places and but ended up choosing Croatia. Then, in the final week before the trip we perused the forecasted weather… and it looked like a prolonged scorcher… so we pivoted within the same flights to the higher […]
Read more "Dober Dan!"9/20 to 10/7/2021 – It’s Possible. A simple statement that became the mantra of our bicycle tour along the Montañas Vacias route in Spain. These words seemed to embody the Spanish lifestyle with their casual optimism. These words were exactly what we needed after a couple of years of intense focus in graduate school and […]
Read more "“Its Possible”"7/20 to 8/8/2019 – Slow down. Life gets away from us quickly and time slips away. Close friends move and shake and, suddenly it seems, they haven’t seen each other in a year or more. Jonny and Leslie have been two of our closest friends for a gosh-darn long-while and are so close they’re really […]
Read more "The Dirty Dempster"11/05 to 11/23/2018 – Another awesome year of marriage meant an another honeymoon bicycle tour. This time, Grete and I met up with her Uncle Mike in Hanoi to go for a backroads tour of Northern Vietnam. We pulled the trigger on this trip nearly 6 months beforehand (WAY early for us) after a great […]
Read more "Xin Chào!"July 27th to July 29th, 2018 – When Pete invites you on a bikepacking trip you can expect two things: It’s going to rain. The route will be a gem. So when Pete, Erin, Grete and I planned a long weekend adventure up into Canada we had an idea of what we were getting into… […]
Read more "Top of the World!"9/30 to 10/16/2017 – Words by Grete When you book your tickets to Mexico two weeks prior to your trip, your parents will worry that you haven’t done enough planning. And you haven’t. You don’t know where you will go. But you found a really good deal on a flight to San Diego, and you […]
Read more "Product of Mexico"11/10 to 12/6/2016 – Uncle Mike is an adventurous force to be reckoned with. He has an endless collection of wild stories from his wanderlust filled life. And now, at 70-years young, this fellow spends a majority of his time cycling through foreign countries immersing himself in local culture and customs. Early in the summer of 2016, Grete […]
Read more "A Chévere Month in Ecuador"6/12 to 6/13/2016 – Another overnighter bikepacking trip from earlier this summer was this excellent trip with both Grete and Burket! Grete and I were itching to get out on our beloved tandem and Burket was needing to break in his new (to him) Karate Monkey so we loaded them up and headed out! We […]
Read more "The Red Meadow 100(ish)"5/29 to 5/30, 2016 – Earlier in the summer, I had the opportunity to get out on a couple of sweet overnighter bike rides. Of course the photos are a couple months late, but here is another quick posting! This lovely little loop ride travels from Whitefish and wanders along mostly dirt backroads out to Island Lake, then […]
Read more "The Island Lake Loop"11/05 to 11/23/2015 – “MUCHOS GRACIAS POR FAVOR…” I repeated over and over to the friendly local farmer who was wading thigh-deep across the Bongo River with our tandem on his back… This only continued my spiral deep into being clearly identified as the dumb gringo tourist on an odd-ball “bicycleta grande” with his beautiful, much more bilingual, wife.
