Well, Grete and I have still been avidly adventuring… enough to keep me off the internet and away from my blog… but it seemed like time for another post! Covered in this little blurb from our lives is a most excellent run from Lake McDonald Lodge to the Jackson Glacier Overlook over Gunsight Pass in […]
Read more "Late Summer Adventures"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"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 […]
Read more "A Couple Days in Fruita…"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…"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 […]
