When I was in college I had a cinematography class. We didn’t shoot one inch of film. Instead we spent our time shooting still photos, learning the craft of exposure, film speed, etc..one of our assignments was to shoot several photos of the same object. I of course shot pictures of my bike. Well, I […]

Ahh, Spring

Ah, Spring. From seventy degrees to forty, and back again. That is Spring on the Wasatch Front. But the schizophrenia is not limited to the mountains. Currently there is a freeze warning for Moab, Grand Junction, Paradox Valley…in short, Grand Loop country. Three weeks ago I rode in Moab under sunny skies, one week ago […]

More and more I find myself turning toward the single speed. Maybe I am feeling the effects of getting derailed on Saturday, but when I pulled into my garage I could have sworn the SS was mocking me. It had this way about it, as it hung against the wall, a sort of “You never […]

My day ended early, but it was still a good day. It started early as well. 4 AM early. A light mist filled the air and the streets were wet with recent rainfall. Dave Harris and I rode the black streets toward the start line. I had flashbacks to another wet dark morning in August, […]

Early Exit

β€œThe phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune’s spite; revive from ashes and rise.” –Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra– In a few hours I will head down to Moab for the Rim Ride. 2 Weeks ago I pre-rode most of the course and came away from that doing everything […]
