Posted by on Sep 23, 2013 in BLOG | 4 comments Here are a few very cool looking places that are a mix of isolated, abandoned and sometimes scary.

Posted by on Sep 21, 2013 in BLOG | 0 comments Ok it is not that old at all, but the parts on this Trek bike were the horrible Sram ones and made me crazy.

Posted by on Oct 31, 2012 in BLOG | 0 comments What a grand adventure indeed! Last week I had the exhausting pleasure of running most of the Canyon and back. 28 miles from Phantom Ranch to North rim and back. I did that in 6:30 and am pleased with that.
