Megalodon Ridge 7/15-7/17
Without really intending it I have somehow found myself in this wonderful rhythm where I seem to make it up to the PNW once a year to see friends and play outside. Gabe and Liza are always nice enough to play host as I flitz in and out: their home being a perfect base for…

Blade Season Recap 2023
If you devote yourself to practicing my precepts, your chest will be stout, your colour glowing, your shoulders broad, your tongue short, your hips muscular, but your tool small. – Aristophanes, The Clouds After blading our dream line in 2021 Garrett and I were both riding a high unlike any we had experienced before. But…

Muddy Creek – 5/28
Sometimes weekends just fall in to place. Taryn was scheduled to start a month rotation in Moab at the start of June.

Dolomites Mini-Trip – 6/12 – 6/19
After a restful few days hanging with Taryn’s dad in Zurich it was time to move on. We had spent a bunch of time over the weekend figuring out where to go. Our only other fixed plan of the trip, a run of the Via Valais trail, was starting in 8 days out of the…

Europe Bikepacking Part III 5/31 – 6/11
After five days of wall-to-wall riding it felt wonderful to slow down for a couple of days in Lyon. We slept in our first morning, enjoying the feeling of a real bed and not being camped illegally. I ate an ungodly amount of food at the hostel’s all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet and we headed out to…
