The Red Meadow 100(ish)

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 […]

The Island Lake Loop

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 […]

Mid-Winter Goodness

2/1 to 3/13/16 – Again, I’ve gotten behind on the blog.  The reason for this delay is that good friends, plentiful adventures and great weather have forced me outside and away from my computer… schucks!

Winter So Far…

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 […]

Uncle Mike’s Visit

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 […]

Cycling GTTS Road

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 […]

Another Traverse

3/29/15 – Well, another birthday came around and Grete invited me to join her (and our buddy Justin) on another ski traverse.  This isn’t the first time she’s asked me to walk pretty far in ski boots… Our relationship got its first glimmer while wandering for 14 hours during the Elk Mountains Grand Traverse a […]
