TweetA busy unpredictable month. A lot less photos taken than normal. Tiny human becoming more of a human. An extended trip to Ireland. Some local exploring down lanes I didn’t know. Training with CVSRT. Training the tiny human to be an outdoor human. A wedding. Another trip to Ireland to spend time on a mountain. Read more →

June in Photos
TweetAnother busy month with life. Tiny human is growing. Summer is passing us by. Took time to get some film developed. Started picking up a bike in anger again. Felt good. Really good. Read more →
Bunyan Velo X Porcelain Rocket Mini Slinger Mini Review
Tweet I’ve wanted a Porcelain Rocket Mini Slinger for a while. A nice, simple, accessible way to carry a bigger camera around on a bike without putting it in a backpack, or in a framebag. But they’ve been out of production for a while and it was looking like that while was going to be a very long while. For… Read more →
Scotland in Film – First Time
TweetA post that has been in Proof mode for far to long: September of last year! ~~ The cycling focus for the past two years ended abruptly for me after the Tour Divide. I needed something else to focus on. Many would have ridden more, but I needed a break, something else to occupy my legs and mind. Running was… Read more →
May Photos
TweetAnother busy month, but a very different type of busy. Getting back into the swing of exercising and minding a tiny human. Getting away to places we want to go. Getting some time to myself. Getting a new film camera. All positives. Read more →
April Photos
TweetSomething has been lurking in my brain for a while. Not riding bikes, but running. Camera annoyingly heavy for running. Maybe I should just photograph other things? Not my athletic life. Hmm, wonder what would happen if I did that more often? Would I become “better” at taking photos? Is there better? Either way, images from April that please me. Read more →
8mm
TweetLast year, with local rider and Super8 obsessed friend Giles, we went out and made a film for a competition. A film on film, not digital. A single Super8 cartridge shot with no room for editing. What was shot was what was to be entered, undeveloped, unseen by Giles. It was a fun day, 5 hours to shoot 3.5 minutes… Read more →
Distractions
Tweet I’ve been reading a lot more since I returned from the Divide. Books, comic books, long form opinion. Winter and an annoying injury took hold and I’ve had less time on my feet and wheels to let them recover, but more time to exercise my brain. I’ve never come to March with so little miles in my legs. It… Read more →
#NotBelgium
TweetA draft post that never made it out there. ~ It was supposed to be a trip to Belgium to watch the Cyclocross World Cup at Koksijde. It was supposed to be a birthday trip, a cycling holiday, some time away together. It was supposed to be a fun weekend away at the start of Winter before all hell breaks… Read more →
2016 Wrap.
TweetOdd year. A year of two distinct halves. Part 1: January through June we’re dominated by the one thing, the Tour Divide. Nothing else mattered. Work, nope. Friends, nope. Family, nope. Home…well yes, the only thing that mattered except training was homelife and future plans. Oddly, this near sole focus had little impact on the rest of my “normal” outside… Read more →
