And now we return to our regularly scheduled Daily Photo

Enough of this Tour de France silliness. I have a lot of photo shoots rattling around in my head and I need to get back to shooting. I was going to drive somewhere and scope out a shoot that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. Then I found that my car battery is...

Daily Photo – Ned Trestle

I met up with a crew and did a pretty epic 7 hour Ned ride on Sunday. I didn’t even remember that it was the last day of the Tour. I guess that means that I’m over it. Here is Jason concentrating hard on a very high old tressel.

Fisheye Fun

I got a Canon 15mm f2.8 Fisheye lens last Thursday. So I busted out the full-frame Canon 5D so I could have some extreme wide angle fun at Cruiser Night. I was also riding the “V-Swing” swing bike. Wow, swing bikes are just so much fun. Riding slowly in a straight line is even fun....

Plunging Into The Poudre

Sunday was a big day. After the Ned Ride we headed up to Ft. Collins in search of the Poudre. The Poudre was flowing, but apparently it had dried up significantly since the week before. No one likes a dry Poudre! I thought the Poudre up there was easy, but it actually turned out to...

Sweet Mountain Bike Ride – Forgot the Camera – Trail Openings and Closings

Wingnut and I hit the 10:10 bus to Ned on Saturday. Getting up in time to get downtown that early is always a bit of a stretch for my non-morning person type self. So I forgot my camera. And it was a shame, the wildflowers in the foothills are the best that I have seen...

Video Link – The Josh Bender Story

Josh Bender is a pretty infamous guy in the mountain bike freeriding world. I got to room with him in Moab at the Ellsworth Retreat last October. He is a really good guy, despite all the shit people like to talk about him. I *almost* went down to his home turf to shoot with him...
