12/1/2015 to 1/31/2016 – It was a mighty unusual transition back from Costa Rica’s hot, humid, sun-filled tropical climate to NW Montana’s cold, grey, snow-filled winter one… but we were really excited to be home again. We were easily distracted from our climatic concerns by the thing we missed the most while adventuring: our beloved big white […]
Read more "Winter So Far…"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"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…"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…"10/2/2013 – A short written piece, by close friend Jonny Cromwell, and a few of my photos were published in Bunyan Velo’s 3rd Issue (link)! Check out pages 128-137 for our first published bit of work discussing a bit of the Great Divide Basin from last fall! Also, read the rest of the magazine (and […]
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. 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 […]
