5/31 to 8/2/2015 – Well, it’s been a glorious summer so far in NW Montana. Grete and I have been outside so much that I really haven’t had a chance to edit -let alone post- photos and stories of our adventures… So here is a super broad post covering a couple of months of incredible […]
Read more "Montucky Summertime"5/1 to 5/4/15′ – Over the past couple years I’ve heard many stories of Grete’s adventurous Uncle Mike from herself and her family. They all seem to lovingly refer to him as “crazy” and describe the trips he takes he takes as “unbelievable.” He has bicycle toured through much of North America, India, China, Southeast Asia, and South […]
Read more "Uncle Mike’s Visit"4/19/2015 – Glacier National Park offers its visitors one heck of a special experience during early spring by opening the legendarily beautiful Going-To-The-Sun-Road up to cyclists and hikers (only) while they are plowing it out. The road, which crosses Logan Pass, is one of the few to penetrate deep into GNP’s alpine core. It offers visitors stunning […]
Read more "Cycling GTTS Road"3/18 to 3/21/2015 – Looking for a quick way to buck the recent “routine” Grete and I have developed around Whitefish (given the little snow and rainy forecast), we began searching for a quality adventure that would be low stress in a slightly drier place. Soon, I discovered the Columbia Plateau Trail – an old railroad bed […]
Read more "The Columbia Plateau Trail – WAY HARDER THAN IT LOOKS"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"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…"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 […]
