Panama 2006

  • The Price
    In the spirit of adventure and having new experiences together, the Missus and I rolled the dice on some informal recomendations and an ad from the back of Surfer Magazine for a 'Private Surf Island' off the coast of Panama. Suffice to say - we had a great, diverse crew on the island, scored some of the best - and longest waves - I have ever ridden and already have the island booked for next year. This is the DL from Morro Negrito - 2006.

'Round The Hood

  • Canute 2006 - Bring It On
    So, we live at 8,040 feet. We commute via bike some 17 - odd miles and 3,200 feet of vertical down to Boulder, most days. On the other days, we are running, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, drinking beer in the meadows and ridges around the house. The natural environment is something we are immersed in every day. This album is an attempt at reflecting on and capturing some of the beauty that we are immersed in every day. After a decade and a half of this - I am just getting warmed up and feel like a tourist seeing it for the first time every day. All these photos are in the hood - in the yard. It's a hellofa yard.

Colorado Trail 2004

  • Day 8 - Kennebec Pass
    In August of 2004 an assortment of riders from Nederland, Belgium and Northern California set out to ride some 320 miles of trails across the amazing state of Colorado. This is their story.

    Being that we live at 8,040 feet, weather, and snow are both a huge part of life. We shovel it, ride through it, ride on it, pray for it, curse it. We love it. Whether it's burying the ramp, blowing into hug lip launches at Edlora or carrying us over a cornice in some distant part of the state - it is a huge part of our constitution.

Nothing 6 and a half hours alone in the woods can't cure

The most excellent Mss C asks if I ever get burnt on riding. My simple answer: Not Yet. Being that this season started way early (mid-march instead of say late May last year) I am feeling the pain. The fatigue. But - it only lasts for like the first 2-3 hours of every outing. Then I feel great. Hah! Found some amazing stuff today. Some old property lines I had never seen that have to go back 100+ years; some random collection of metal milk jugs that have to be from the early 1900's, and while stumbling around on a connector that I have found annoying in the past I had a vision in dirt - and that annoying connector is now officially dubbed: 69. # 69. As in - it's fun both ways. I may resort to the DMB version of tunes: # 36; # 41, etc as there are just so many trails. Today was massive and epic and I mis-timed the escape by about 15 minutes and turned back west just as the hail started. Not too bad - I had everything with me as it was 34 when I left the house. Simply out it all back on. Hah! We are off to The Butte of Crested for 4 days of LONG and HIGH rides. Start putting the icing on this season of rolling. Check out the image of the divide there.....snow to about 11,000 I would say. The mountains are dropping her collective skirts, where upon we will need to switch modes of play. All the same and all good.
