…Continued from Part 1… Leg 3 – Montpelier to Afton – Two Passes Thanks to the tandem train John and I met up with Jim and company as we came into the Montpelier feed station. Jim’s crew started out and we made a tough decision – to leave Tim behind. We told John’s wife to […]
Saw this video while reading the NYT online, which finally is free to view. Funny that while reading the news online I would be attracted to a video. Makes you wonder about the powerful medium that is video.So after watching the video a couple of times I checked out the microsite for the 2 Mile […]
As it was quite warm earlier this week I went out for a bike ride on the Mirror Lake Highway. I went for a 20 mile ride and had 3 cars pass me, making it more like the “Mirror Lake Myway”. I was wearing the “Butts, Sweat and Gears” jersey that my friend Bill Johnson […]
For each of the past two summers I’ve biked to work in Park City, Utah from Kamas where I live. It’s 20 miles each way with about 1100′ vertical feet gain each direction thanks to a couple of good hills. Doing this ride 2-3 times each week has kept me in good shape for ski […]
When the headlines last week were talking about how this is not Vino’s tour, with his crash and the lack of leadership from Kloden, they were just scratching the surface. Yesterday I thought that this was indeed Vino’s tour. Now, I can’t believe it. A recap Stage 13 was brilliant. A torn and hurt Alexander […]
I remember first seeing this guy in a bike film called “The Collective” which was produced by, yep, The Collective. Since then he’s been on most bike radars whenever the talk of trials riders (nope, we’re not talking time trials here) comes up. Enjoy the clip.
Although I had never heard of this story (I’m in my sophmore season of cycling) I’m certainly anxious to watch this film that is based on the true story of Graeme Obree who broke the world one hour speed record on a bike that he designed himself. According to the film’s website, it opened this […]
That’s what I told Cynthia “just one hour” as I pedaled away from our home in Kamas. Destination: Wolf Creek Pass. I fell in love with Wolf Creek Pass last year after moving to Kamas and purchasing my first road bike, a Kona Zing Supreme. The climbs are a great challenge, the shoulder is good, […]
Friday was quite the day. Up early to climb and ski Mount Superior with Derek and then a late night at the Backcountry.com (I work there) warehouse “putting out a large fire” I was spent when I finally hit the pillow just shy of 2am. Like Friday, Saturday started early as well with me up […]
Finally hooked up with my friend Chad Wassmer for some road biking after work today. I’ve known Chad for a number of years as he works at Deer Valley and when I worked in the ski resort biz our paths often crossed. We did a casual ride up the Mirror Lake Highway to the gate […]
