More 2006 Tour of Utah
The last couple of days have been busy. I spent Friday up at the OR show, and then that evening I watched the circuit race through downtown Salt Lake. The race was stage 5 of the Tour of Utah. Today I rode my bike with Keith up to the summit of the Alpine Loop ahead […]
Outdoor Retail Show
Wingnut Gear O.R. Booth Today was Day 1 of the Outdoor Retail Show. It is huge. Booths everywhere. Knives, backpacks, kayaks, tents, shoes, clothing, lights, food, water filters, hats, sunglasses, on and on….lots of interesting stuff. I had some time to wander around a bit, and saw some pretty cool things. Of particular note was […]
Slipping Away

A Year in the Books
One year ago today I started this blog. It came as a result from my terrible Brianhead Epic performance. I wanted a way to stay focused and accountable. I wanted a place to “jot down” my thoughts, race recaps, and really just a spot I could recount my (mis)adventures on the bike. It has been […]
Another TT
Major thunderstorms rolled through this morning. Afterward the temps were nice and cool. I don’t think it got hotter than 75 today. Chris and K.C., Kieth, Carson and I hit the road for 2.5 hours today. We climbed Squaw Peak Road, and since I usually plan a TT up that road around my birthday, I […]
