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 […]
Read more "A Couple Days in Fruita…"5/13 to 5/14/2014 – After a couple weeks of day-in and day-out work on the trailer, Grete and I were hitting a breaking point… We were craving adventure, the fresh mountain air, and getting away from our monster project born in 1973. We had been shut down a week earlier on an attempt at the […]
Read more "Mt. Adams"10/3/2013 to 10/6/2013 – Last fall Grete and I were back in Washington for a short bit and took a couple day road trip to break in the new truck, Wendy. We hoped to enjoy a bit of Washington’s authentic beauty so the drive focused on both hitting the Cascades as well as the coast. Our […]
Read more "Fall Washington Roadtrip"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).

Read more "Published!"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 […]
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.

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 […]
Read more "Grand Teton National Park, WY to Butte, MT"9/8/2012 to 9/16/2012 – It was a melancholy morning waking up at Antelope Reservoir, knowing that our good buddy Jonny was leaving the tour. We said our goodbyes, had a morning beer and hit the dirt road headed further into the Great Divide Basin. From here on out, the ride was just Dave and I. […]
