I took these photos last September, but kinda sorta forgot to post them. So I am proud to present the most tardy Cross Vegas Cyclocross race photos ever. This annual Las Vegas cyclocross race is unusual in that the pro races take place after dark. This makes photographing the event an interesting challenge. I traveled...
This year was the inaugural running of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, which is essentially the Tour of Colorado. This event is a big deal for cycling-rabid Colorado, and I made sure to head up into the mountains and catch some of the action. I decided that the Stage 3 Vail Time Trial would be...
Full gallery of Valmont Bike Park Photos on Facebook. There is a new biking game in the town of Boulder, and it’s called Valmont Bike Park. This is a public park where riders of all ages and abilities can come out and play and work on their skills. I’m an old school BMX kid from...
Trying to find mountain biking trails while in the middle of a road trip in a part of the country where you have never been before can be interesting. You have to have a good sense for what areas might be have good trails, use internet resources, and have a little bit of luck. I...
My previous blog post left off with my quick trip through Big Bend National Park. There was no time for delay, as I was prioritizing getting a mountain bike ride in on this day. My first intention was to ride the Contrabando Mountain Bike Trails in Big Bend State Park. But, everything seems to take...
On Sunday I headed up to Santos for my last mountain bike ride of the Florida leg of my annual winter road trip with Buddy, AKA Harry. The funny thing about a lot of these mountain bike places around here is that they have changed their names over the years. This place was Belleview, Barge...
Life is like learning to ride a wheelie. There are many things in life that we wish that we could do, or that we could do better. I’ve always wanted to learn to ride a wheelie, ever since I was a little BMX punk in the 80s. Why didn’t I know how? Simple. I never...
Today I went back to the original place where I first rode a mountain bike. I can’t believe that it’s been almost 20 years! Back in the day, the trails at Morris Bridge were a hodgepodge of unmarked and unnamed trails through the swamp and forest. Today there are trail maps, pay stations, and a...
Well my plans to blog pictures from my road trip didn’t coincide with my plans to get away from my computer. It seems that taking a much-needed break from the computer won! On Thanksgiving Day, Scott and I began learning how to ride wheelies on our mountain bikes. A month later, I’m getting pretty decent...
If it’s Halloween, then it’s time for the UCI Cyclocross races to come to Boulder for the weekend! We had amazing summer like conditions this year instead of the usual snow event, which made for great spectating. I was out at the Boulder Cross Classic at the Boulder Reservoir on Saturday, but I didn’t bring...
Hey I got out of work today and rode my mountain bike. Are you proud of me? The indian summer just keeps going and going so I took the “now-or-never” attitude and took the singlespeed out to Heil Ranch. I haven’t ridden it all summer, and while I was loving it on the uphills, the...
On the way back from Salida I actually managed to get on my mountain bike and ride part of the Colorado Trail; the Kenosha Pass to Georgia Pass segment. Yes, I said part of it . . . I didn’t get up early enough to make it to the top. That’s my excuse and I’m...
June 5th was National Trails Day, and I lent some photographing skills to help promote the creation and maintenance of our local trail network. Boulder Mountain Bike Alliance hosted a big trail building day at Betasso Preserve. In case you didn’t know, Betasso is getting a brand new loop, called the Benjamin Trail, that will...
I did my first two rides in the high country this weekend! The trails are running sweet in Ned, with the exception of the higher stuff which is still clogged with snow. I got turned around on School Bus by snow drifts. But I did ride the new Re-Root section of Root Canal. It’s pretty...
I’m setting a goal to be less of a crazy photographer workahaulic this year and get out more on the bike. I rode both Saturday and Sunday this weekend to try and clear my head. I brought my pocket camera along to challenge myself to come up with a creative photo while riding around the...
This post is an oldie, but a goodie, so I’m going to recycle it! I haven’t been posting any mountain bike pictures because I don’t have time to ride any more, so let’s just reminisce about the good old days of unemployment! Back when I bought my first camera (a Canon 20d), I pulled it...
Action self portrait cruising down the street on my 1952 Monark Cycle King on a gorgeous summer day.
I haven’t posted in a bit. I cracked under the weight of too much work and not enough fun. So Bobby and I attempted to rectify the situation with a little Nederland riding. Just to show how mentally cooked I was, I left my riding shoes at home for the first time in . ....
I’ve waited a while to post these pictures to make it seem as if I’m out riding my mountain bike. Those folks who just glance at the pictures will think, “Wow Steve Z has such an amazing rock star life, shooting photos and all kinds of great rides in the mountains!” But all you 3...
