A note from Hunter S.
“Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit…what a ride!’” ~Hunter S. Thompson Life’s journey is not to… – Goodmorning & Goodnight. »
The Incline
I’m not sure how many of you have ever heard of The Incline in Manitou Springs (right next to Colorado Springs, CO). Here’s a link to a good NYT article on it. I’ve heard of it for a while and Saturday afternoon (4/18/2010), I got my chance to hike it. Well, “hike” is a... »
Limits, suffering and your brain…
What do you do when you don’t have anything left to keep riding? How do you know when you don’t have a single bit of energy to run another mile? When do you need rest, food? When do you quit, or push on? Turns out the answer to that question isn’t that simple. We... »
The Next Adventure

free fallin’
Like watching Aliens on a broken roller coaster in a hurricane after 17 Insta-Shots… They tell you to arch your back and cock your head back until you can’t see the ground while reaching under the belly of the plane and touching your heels to the skin of the aircraft. You don’t have long... »
