Getting close to finishing up the route! Only two more mountains left. The Huron to La Plata segment is one of the easier segments and the comparatively gentle terrain is on either trail or even road. Massive and Elbert are next!
A project resurrected! With my own completion of a Slowlans fastpack, I’m finishing up my own Slowlans guide. Today is the Missouri Mountain to Huron Peak segment, from where I left off. Enjoy!
Recently, I took a trip to the Sawatch – my first time out into the high country – or even out of Boulder, since February. The goal was to take on Slowlans: Nolans 14, but slowly! And I decided to do it as intelligently as possible, which meant taking time off beforehand and allowing myself Continue reading…
It’s that time of the year! The clean spring air and warm sun makes me start dreaming of what to do this summer. Here’s some of the projects I’d like to get on – some of which would benefit partnering up for. Is that you? (Safety not guaranteed):
This week’s Boulder Weekly includes the story of my solo January Longs Peak Duathlon up Keplingers Couloir – a project I’ve tried and failed at for years. Have a read.
This is Part II of my two-day bikepacking trip to Longs Peak (here’s Part 1), with the main goal figuring out a righteous off-pavement route to Longs Peak. In this video, I take to the trails to summit Longs Peak – as well as Mount Meeker. I link the two via Gorrell’s Traverse: a most Continue reading…
This ride was a long time coming, and one of my top five favorite trips of 2021. I’ve been trying to link together a righteous MTB route as close as I could to Rocky Mountain National Park, and this route is, I feel, the best one can do. I’ll be updating my Longs Peak Route Continue reading…
For the majority of my outdoor trips and adventures, I’m mountain running: moving as quickly as I can in mountainous terrain all with the minimal amount of gear. I also go on multi-day trips and then my mountain running transforms into what’s called, fastpacking. The goal is simply efficient all day movement over long distances, Continue reading…
2021 was a tough year to get through – but I tried to make the best of it! Long, self-contained adventures are already my main jam, so it was easy to adapt to the topology of 2021. Here’s some of the favorite trips I took out in Colorado. I took a TON of footage this Continue reading…
Monday Bicycle Commute (20 miles) Chapman A little post work Chapman Ride to get some more mileage. So happy for the dedicated bike lane to the start. More traffic than I was expecting going down Flagstaff, as parking is supposed to not be happening after 9. (could be that it wasn’t 9, yet! Duh…) Tuesday Continue reading…
I recorded the above video somewhat on a whim – but it goes through some of the gear I use on my fastpacking trips. The way I pack is covered here, and what I bring to eat is covered here. I have gone through my entire kit for a few projects I’ve done, like my Continue reading…
