City Creek Hike, Spring 2022

The Grove. I call it the enchanted forest.

My long time hiking buddy invited me for a jaunt around the City Creek area on Sunday, April 3rd, which also happened to be my birthday. I’d been pretty dang sedentary for the last 2 years due to working from home, so I jumped at the […]

Fall Adventures!

I’m finally getting around to writing short summaries of 4 great adventures I got to experience last fall! I took quite a few photos of it all and organized them all chronologically in this gallery. Enjoy!

Scout Mountain Hike, September 20, 2020

A friend and I decided to hike to the top of Scout […]

Commuting By Bicycle In Pocatello, Idaho

I’ve been an almost daily bicycle commuter in Pocatello, Idaho since 2007. I’m writing this article to briefly point out my experiences cycling on the streets of Pocatello, and to also give a few tips on some commonly occurring points of minor, and easily avoidable, contention I’ve experienced coexisting with motorized vehicles. I’ll be just […]

Fatbike Winter Trail Ride

Quite a bit of snow fell last night. I witnessed this blizzard as I looked out the window occasionally from around 2 am to 4 am. I was doing some system maintenance for my job while eating a really late night dinner. I had the next day off, which made it worth it. Mostly.

Today, […]

Chesterfield Cycle Camp 2014

The trail to Chesterfield

I’m writing about an event that happened like a year and a half ago (May 3, 2014 to be exact). Because I’m that lazy about updating my blog sometimes. Dan and Jeff, feel free to correct me about some of these statements since your memory might be better than mine. […]

95 F Trail Ride

Making use of my sexy new bicycle

After Pocatello enters the 3 month hotter-than-hell season, it is important to get started on your bike ride as early in the day as possible. However, sometimes this just doesn’t happen either because of scheduling conflicts, or you’re just lazy and want to sleep in on Sunday. […]

Gravity Bullseye Monster Review

Gravity Bullseye Monster

So, in case you haven’t heard, a few days ago I purchased a new Gravity Bullseye Monster (yeesh, that name is heinous) from Bikesdirect.com, which makes my sixth purchase from that company. They just keep sucking me back in with their great deals and fairly high quality products. I can’t complain.

Two Hour Challenge Ride, Version 2

Ten days ago, on Thanksgiving, I gave my 2 Hour Challenge Ride a good honest try. But, as I explained in that article, at around the 1 hour 20 minute mark I was starting to feel some fatigue. I neglected to mention in that article that along with my legs starting to feel fatigued, I […]

Two Hour Challenge Ride, Thanksgiving 2014

It seems like almost every year, Thanksgiving has perfect cycling / running / whatever weather. I think the universe is telling us to burn some calories before taking too many of them in. :-D This Thanksgiving, it was 50 degrees and sunny, so I decided to do my 2 Hour Challenge Ride! This is a […]

This blog entry is a continuation of my personal mountain bicycling learning journey that I started recently. I am a road cyclist who is learning the art of mountain biking with a little help from my friends. :-)

Last fall, Jeff Selfa was kind enough to take me, and some […]
