I finally woke up early enough to see the Bolder Boulder

The Bolder Boulder has been a Memorial Day tradition in Boulder for 30 years.  This year 50,000 people came to run a 10K race through town.  The start is close enough to my house that I can hear the starter from inside, but I’ve never managed to get out of bed in time to see...

Durango MTB Getaway

Last weekend Ryan and I headed out on a mountain biking road trip. It had been WAY too long since my last one, I think it was the 2006 Colorado Springs trip. We decided to check out Durango, since neither of us really knows anyone who has ridden in the area. Durango was at one...

Bunnyhop Me

We were eating lunch in between photo sessions down in Denver when I saw some kids riding urban assault bikes in the local shopping center.   So I had one of them bunnyhop me for your viewing pleasure. <A HREF=”http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fstezpho-20%2F8001%2F8b69131b-7c80-4f9e-b56b-0f57807f34b7&Operation=NoScript” mce_HREF=”http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fstezpho-20%2F8001%2F8b69131b-7c80-4f9e-b56b-0f57807f34b7&Operation=NoScript”>Amazon.com Widgets</A>

The Boat Truck

My dad used to always complain that my grandparents’ big American cars drove like boats.  This gives a new meaning to driving a boat!
