Trail work day – Lost Chicken drainage improvement
Wow it’s September already! How ya been? My excuses for not posting in a while are all valid and award winning. Basically I got busy and needed to focus on other things. Sorry.

For most of my life I abhorred sunrise. I was not and still am not a morning person. What has changed is that I now wake up before sunrise on the reg. This is not something I have chosen. Rather it has chosen me. Now that I get up early and see the sun rise […]

New bike day: Canyon Stoic 4
In December I had a new bike day but that bike was a bit too small and there were no larger sizes in stock. I returned it and then focused on rafting in Mexico and snowboarding for the winter. I kept looking at used bikes online, but nothing was inspiring me to spend over $3k […]

Mourning Loss of a Team Member as a Remote Team
Damn. This is a rough reality of remote work. We need to be checking in on each other not just for deadlines but because we give a shit about each other. I struggle with wanting meetings to be super efficient so that I can get back to work, and spending some pre meeting time with […]

Ready to Ride
It is getting warmer here in southwest Colorado, but the winds have arrived too. It may be 52℉ but the windchill makes it feel like 30℉. So I am ready to ride my bikes, but it’s just a bit on the cold side still. In the meantime I am binging on Youtube videos about riding […]
