Summer kicked off in mid May with our annual migration to Colorado. Evie and I both raced the Grand Junction Off-Road and then a trip to Nevada for the Carson City Off-Road in mid June. Colorado has felt a lot like Arizona lately with highs in the mid to upper 90s and unfortunately lots of […]

A lot to catch up on since my fractured hip incident. My sister got married April 14th, so Evie and I traveled back to Milwaukee for a long weekend. The wedding was awesome, the weather not so much. 30s, snow, sleet, rain, 30+ mph winds, ya know the goods. Whiskey 50 I’ve been riding again, […]

Two weeks ago on Saturday I was heading out on a training/exploring ride on my mountain bike when I fell and broke my hip. It sounds worse than it is. Yes, I have a broken bone, but the doc is expecting a full recovery, no surgery needed. The actual diagnosis is a fracture of the […]

Christmas will be here before we know it! My parents came to town the weekend before Thanksgiving, so we stayed put for Thanksgiving itself sharing the day with friends who didn’t have family nearby. A few weeks earlier Evie, Lucy and I went for a hike on a section of the AZT. Lucy tree’d a […]

We are just about finished with the condo remodel. I still need to paint the trim and do a few odds and ends, but the bulk of the work is done.

Last week Lucy injured her rear left leg while playing ball. I had to carry her home from the park and it lay limp for the first few days afterwards. The vet gave her some Vetprofin to help with inflammation and we took her to a orthopedic doctor yesterday. The doc said it’s a partial […]

The last two weeks are my favorite two training weeks of the year. Big rides means adventures and exploring! My goal for my big weak this year was to get in 30k feet of climbing in 7 days. I finished the week at ~24 hours and 35,000′ of elevation gain. Here are some photos from […]

Well fall has come and gone and I didn’t get to posting once during that time. Winter is in full swing (more or less). Evie and I are living in Scottsdale, AZ for the time being, she is teaching a few classes at Grand Canyon University. Here are some of the other happenings as of […]
