I have had the opportunity to do many amazing activities in my life, and often there is a singular moment in these that I remember particularly strongly. Among those I count: climbing the knife ridge approaching the summit of Denali at nearly 20,000 feet; the descent of the Turrialba Volcano during Stage 3 of... »
Leadville 2011. The 10th one. One thousand miles. History. This all started back in 2000 when Japhy went and did “this race in Leadville” and seemed to have a great time and encouraged me to do it. So, the next year I applied and got in and, 11 years later, I’m still doing it.... »
After just over a month with with my new bike I’m finally able to offer something of a review of it’s performance with more detail than, “It’s AWESOME!” I’ve ridden it on trails I know like the ripples on a strip of bacon and trails I’ve never seen before in my life, like the... »

Thursday I went out to Black Rock Bicycles to witness the buildup of my new Transition Bandit. Curtis and Steve did a kickass job of putting it all together not saving any time or cutting any corners. Curtis reamed out the seat tube with a wire brush to de-burr the inside. I’d never seen... »
The Cascade Cream Puff, 2011 version…Redemption. Yes, I finished it. Really proud of this finish, really happy with my day and the whole thing. Amazing race, and I’m really not sure I’d do it again. We’ll see, memories fade and so will the colors on that hat. For a bit of a back-story, I... »
