  • The Art of Waking up

    In the Art of Shralpanism, snowboarder Jeremy Jones mentions his process for waking up regardless of if he is at home or in a tent at 14,000 feet with a blizzard surrounding him. I love this process and have been practicing it for a few weeks. I have managed to get the ten breaths on […]

  • Habits all the way down

    In November last year, I watched several Ryan Holiday YouTube videos that affected me in several ways. Ryan is a stoic and he talks about stoic values and texts, especially Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. The videos are well produced enough, and the information he shares is intelligent and helpful philosophy of life. One thing he […]

    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. Our local trails group, Mancos Trails Group, has been busy all summer with multiple trail work days. Today we spent over 5 […]

  • Starting with sunrise

    Starting with sunrise

    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 […]

  • Finding the route

    Finding the route

    strava.app.link/ZwMdyhCyrrb Last weekend I did this ride in part to find a better way down the mountains to the east of my home. The Mancos Spur Trail is a collection of trails that connect my town of Mancos to the Colorado Trail. It is primarily a hiking trail and isn’t the most friendly for riding […]

    A good day to ride

    strava.app.link/zBMehMixhpb Good day to ride fast. We got Kate a new/used road bike. So we had to do a 27.8 mile break in ride around our neighborhood. I like this ride cause about 30 minutes in we stop at the local coffee shop For caffeine and cherry tarts. We also spend half the ride or […]

  • Possibly the best thing

    Possibly the best thing

    We built a shower into the garage for dog washing, but if we had children I could see it being equally useful. When we lived in the trailer dirt was just a fact of life. Now that we are in a house it is refreshing to have as little dirt as possible. Now Dazey and […]

    59 miles and a Birthday

    We got in our first big ride of the 2022 cycling season last Saturday. It was our friend Ondine’s birthday so we rode her age in miles. It’s something Kate and her parents have done for a number of years and now our friends are participating. Ondine came up with a course that went near […]

  • New bike day: Canyon Stoic 4

    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 […]
