This morning Tim and I left beautiful, sunny Jackson to drive to Grand Targhee for the annual Wydaho Bike race, a mellow event that usually attracts lots of local riders. It’s way cooler on the mountain but good riding weather. Victor City Limits At 1 pm sharp, the riders started up the trail. Tim was [...] July 3rd, 2010 | Tags: alpine, biking, grandtarghee | Category: Daily Life, Outdoors, People, Places | One comment
After 3 days of biking and working at the Book Cliffs, Tim, Lisa and I packed up for a day in town. Jamis had come through and sent a new rear triangle and Tim’s bike was ready. It was time to end his week long pedaling hiatus. Book Cliffs Sportsmobile Jamboree We settled in for a work [...] Two hours until our midnight start and then 18 hours worth of laps. A pre-ride of the course yielded this map! Highline Lake – 18 Hours Of Fruita (End) Total Distance: 11.47 km (7.1 mi) Tim and I wanted HOT and after 3 months of travel through semitropical climes, we finally found it in Arizona. With temperatures in the low to mid 80′s every day, we are staying put for a while. Sizing up the Cacti

Some photos from [...] It was an awesome sunrise that woke Tim up this morning. After a long day in the sun yesterday, we relaxed and took it easy. After a leisurely Cowboy Omelet, we got ready for our respective rides. Sarah and I were going to ride an 11 mile loop called Elk Meadows. Tim [...] After a good night’s sleep, we woke up to another gorgeous day. Our creekside camp was sunny and cool, perfect race weather for the Galena Grinder. Tim ate a big breakfast early and we then rode the ½ mile to the Galena Lodge to check in for the race. On the way, we met up [...] We woke up this morning after getting to our roadside camp site at 1 am. I had to be “at work” at 8 so we drove down the hill to Ketchum to a very good coffee shop called Java on 4th. Tim had taken the day off in order to relax and ride the race [...] I just read something so cool I had to share it. Matt Moniz is 11 years old from Boulder Colorado. His best friend Sam is 9 and has Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. Sam’s treatment costs $100,000 a year. To raise money for his friend’s therapy, Matt is climbing fourteen 14,000 foot plus Colorado peaks [...] Tonight Tim and I are back on the road. It’s a short road (only about 10 miles from town) but it’s a road none the less. When we got finished with work today, the sun was finally shining on Jackson. We packed up Frank in record time. I even got a compliment from Tom regarding my [...] This morning we woke up to another sunny, hot day in St. George. We decided to say goodbye with another run of the Bearclaw/Poppy trail before things got too hot. We packed everything up at the van and then got on our bikes for the 11 mile loop. It was a great ride and better [...] It’s Tim and my last day in the desert for our trip, so we decided to fill it with our very favorite activities….starting with sleeping in! By the time we woke up at 8 am, the Green Valley area was busy. Groups were climbing on the cliffs around the van, bikers were getting early rides in before the sun got too hot, and the skies [...] With 4 more days of traveling to go, Tim and I have gotten into the routine of the road. We wake up and coffee is brewing 5 minutes later. Breakfast follows and then we “shower” with Huggie wipes and are off to our internet location du jour in the Jeep. Once [...]
Last night we arrived at our last National Park on our Southwestern tour, Zion. Zion has long been one of Tim and my very favorite places. The Park doesn’t allow any cars so it’s peaceful and pristine. It’s an ideal place to ride your bike and enjoy a spectacular area all by [...] Today we woke up to the moist air that we were getting used to in the desert. Instead of dry air, sun and sand, we’ve gotten nothing but humidity, rain and mud. We’re starting to wonder if this is a desert at all? We rolled out of our warm sleeping bags and started drying our [...] Finally the sun was out. We woke up to a hot, blue sky morning and got ready for a hike. It was a short 3.5 miles to the canyon bottom so we started off at 11:30 at a relaxed pace. We dropped to the valley floor and began to search out Fence Canyon. When we began [...] May 24th, 2009 | Category: Daily Life, Everyday, Friends and Family, Outdoors, Travel | Leave a comment
Today Tim and I both got a chance to wish our Mom’s a great Mother’s Day. I caught Mom on her way home from Glenville after celebrating Aunt Mary’s birthday. Tim talked to his Mom this evening. I sent a special Happy (step) Mom’s day wish to Lisa via email. We both don’t get a [...] Our little group camping spot at the base of the Book Cliffs began to fill up today. Every spot in the campsite has an occupant and so folks are overflowing. I knew that tomorrow would be busy but today was a surprise. The pleasant part though was the fact that all these [...] Monday morning started early at camp. After midnight margaritas, we were up at 6 am making up for a weekend of no work and all play. Tim got the satellite configured and we were internet bound by 7. I was fixing websites and invoicing for the month. By 8 am we’d [...] |
