Longs Peak from the steps of the Stanley Hotel, Estes Park This was a pretty difficult week to get through, as I needed to move to a new house, I had a rehearsal, then to play a show in Estes Park. My Brother was also in town for a few days, and I wanted to Continue reading…

The Diamond, Longs Peak, from Mt. Lady Washington A pair of shoes, a beat up bike, and one fancy pack gets you to a few places high up in the mountains

2/23/15 – 3/8/15

Winter decided to make an appearance this season. Finally.  Whoa – OK, missed an update one week. I’m pretty proud of the streak I had going. Let’s try to summarize: 

Training Log – 12/15/14 – 12/19/14

Off we go! This week is slightly condensed, as we’re about to board a plan en route to Monterrey, Mexico, to meet Magic Ed for a shuttle to El Potrero.   Since finishing the Tour 14er project (and properly resting, and getting my life in somewhat order), I’ve dove pretty intensely into climbing, learning as much Continue reading…

Training Log – 12/01/14 – 12/07/14

Climbing, climbing and more climbing! For a bike rider, I sure am clawing away up steep cliffs with my hands a bit. Other than getting an incredible base knowledge of how to deal with any type of cliff imaginable, it’s a nice change from constantly moving slowly on my feet. I’m craving just that, but Continue reading…

Training Log – 11/10/14 – 11/16/14

I’ve fallen off of logging my “training”. One reason for this is that I have nothing to train for! Which can be dangerous: nothing to train for (no goals) so no real idea on what to do. I’m not one for structured training anyways – I like to think of what I do outside as, Continue reading…

6/9/14 – 6/15/14

An entirely epic week: Monday, 6/9/14: Sub hour, Green Mountain; up Amphitheater/Saddle, down Gregory (Strava)‘Saturday I was only a few minutes shy of going sub hour up and down Green Mountain. Perhaps par for the course for some, but the psychological barrier of going up and down Green Mountain in less than an hour was Continue reading…

5/12/14 – 5/18/14

Riding into Salida – beautiful views of the Northern Sangres, mixed in with the Southern Sawatch   Wednesday, May 14, 2014 – Boulder – Breckenridge,  105.6 miles, 14,372ft (Strava)This was a huge ride, in terms of elevation gain.  Much of it coming before even hitting I-70. I was also loaded down for touring for the Continue reading…

5/5/14 – 5/11/14

Tuesday, May 6, 2014 – Longs Peak (Approach, Hike, Retreat) For running/cycling, this was the only thing I did this week, but it comes after sumitting Longs on Friday, and taking 3 hours off the time to do that, so I’m pretty happy. The rest of the week was comprised of climbing, including a trip Continue reading…
