xXc Magazine
Season one, Issue one of xXc Magazine is now available. It is the brainchild of Jason Mahokey, outstanding author of The Soiled Chamois. The magazine focuses on ultra-endurance, solo, and epic mountain bike adventures.
I was able to contribute an article and a couple photos to the project and I am pleased with how those turned out. Jason did a great job of laying out the entire magazine. Tons of great photography, race reports, and stories from the early season of enduro madness.
Well done J!
My article is an adaptation of an earlier blog post about Ed Abbey that I expanded in length, but also in idea. I am happy with the way it came together, and was admittedly very excited when I saw it laid out in the magazine. I even printed out a few copies to distribute to the family.
One of my favorite sections of the magazine is the Trans-Iowa photo spread from Guitar Ted. The close up of the dead raccoon might be the perfect symbol of that race. And I think in that context, is exactly what G.T. wanted it to be. Nice!
Download and read issue one of xXc Magazine. It is well done, and I think a great start to what I hope will become a regular source of endurance storytelling.

April 13, 2009Thanks Adam, your article rocked and really helped show that the endurance scene is more than just racing, it’s also exploring and seeing what is beyond a 10 mile lap.
Thanks again for contributing. Time to start working on the next one! 🙂

Looking forward to volume 2
