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...
Here are some more photos from my Keystone tilt-shift mountain bike adventure. The Blair Witch Trail connects the Swan River section of the Colorado Trail to Keystone Ranch. It’s a super sweet section of trail. This time of year it switches from bright, sunny and pretty Colorado wildflowers to pine beetle death and destruction.
It has been a hectic July for me workwise. Sad to say, I haven’t done a single ride! But I’m rectifying that this weekend by doing some rides up in Keystone. Here is a shot from the Colorado Trail high above Keystone. I lugged the tilt shift along and had a great day taking some...
Rob came to town for a week of riding and hanging out. The week he chose to come to Boulder coincided with my busiest time of the year. I didn’t take many photos. Here are two.
On my final day in Steamboat, I headed southeast out of town past Stagecoach Reservoir to Kristi and Danny’s house. We shot an epic Sport The Dress™ session in the mountains near their home. After the shoot I headed back to Boulder the back way, over Gore Pass. On the way, I was hoping to...
On my second day in Steamboat I headed a little farther out of town. Steamboat has had the same wet spring weather that we’ve had in the Front Range, so most of the high elevation trails were reported to be pretty swampy. I rode up the Hot Springs Trail to Lower Bear Trail and back...
On my first day in Steamboat I did a local ride straight out of town. The thunderstorms were threatening, and I needed to get a quick little ride in before the skies opened up. So I headed to the base of Howelsen Hill, and started climbing the rod up to Emerald Mountain. There is a...
OK, I’m long overdue updating this site. I’ve got some new employees that have been keeping me busy doing ‘real’ work. But I’m here in Steamboat taking more mountain biking photos, so I really have to get these old pics off the camera. 2 Sunday’s ago, Ryan and I rode the Ceran St. Vrain trail...
I brought the camera along for last week’s Boulder Cruiser Ride. Our faction began from the Green Guru Headquarters in Northeast Boulder. Ryan Van Duzer was in prime form for some cruising action! One of the side benefits of that start location is the proximity to the 303 Vodka distillery. It is directly next door....
It’s become a birthday tradition of mine to ride Betasso and bring a beer to drink on the bench at Betasso. This year we tried to go to Ned, but for the first time ever, we couldn’t get on the bus because there wasn’t enough room left for our bikes. So, on to Betasso we...
Another popular riding spot in Durango is the Hermosa Creek area. We headed up there for our 3rd ride in Durango. The trail is 21 miles, and is usually ridden via a shuttle. Well, we didn’t have a shuttle, so we decided to try and ride the whole thing out and back. As it turns...
Perched on the foothills above Durango’s west side, there is a very noticable ribbon of singletrack. It appears to be very extreme and steep. We had to do it. It is at the top of Durango’s Test Tracks area, which is a super cool, twisty, fun trail network right in town. The trail is called...
We set out for our first Durango ride of the weekend to the Junction Creek Trailhead. The first thing we noticed was multiple truckloads of kids shuttling from the parking area. There must have been some sort of DH trail right in the area that isn’t on the riding maps. We set out to do...
