We are experiencing the classically fickle Colorado weather right now. It’s 66 degrees out and it feels blazing hot in jeans in the sun. It made me realize that I took a picture out front of my office last week that I was going to post. We had this much snow and it’s gone gone...

I forgot my MTB shoes
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 . ....
Breckenridge Section of the Colorado Trail
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...
Back in the saddle again!
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...
Three Rad Pictures from some obscure trail in Routt National Forest
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...
Riding Steamboat Hot Springs Trail and Lower Bear Trail
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...
Steamboat Springs – Emerald Mountain/Howelsen Hill Trails
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...
Me. Launching.
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...
Happy Thursday Cruiser Ride
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....
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>
Boulder Cup Cyclocross Photos
I went and checked out the Boulder Cup pro cyclo-cross races at Boulder Reservoir and South Boulder Rec the weekend before last. I’ve shot a few pics the first day and none the second; I’ve been way too busy to add extra workflow to my life for fun. So busy in fact, that I forgot...
Ending the Ned Season where it began . . . with snow
After a full day of beautiful weather and VeloSwapping on Saturday, I figured I had to get back up to Ned for a mountain bike ride before it’s too late. Well it wasn’t nearly as warm as I had hoped; the high was 50 and the wind was brisk. All the leaves are long gone,...
My last ride with Matt Chesaux
I originally posted these pictures as part of a pictorial blog post, without many words. Originally I felt that each picture told a thousand words, as they say, so I let the pictures do the talking. Since Tuesday, the story of these pictures has evolved, so I have included them again in a new post....
My newest cruiser bike – The Swing Bike
I’ve been wanting my own swing bike for a really long time. The thing is, you can’t buy one, you have to make it or have someone make it for you. Well, you could buy an original swing bike, but they are kind of like kids’ bikes. Well I finally got around to getting one...
Buffalo Creek Mountain Biking with Dads With A Fathers Day Hall Pass
My goal is to go mountain biking twice a week. I’ve been failing! I can’t complain too much because the photo biz is keeping me super busy midweek. So I’m a Sunday rider and this week we traveled down to Buffalo Creek for some classic Colorado buff singletrack. Some of the terrain in the area...
Chopper Swing Bike at Speed
Last week I went on my first Cruiser Ride of the year. We met up at our new start location at Salzburg Park ready for the first warm Thursday of the year. Unfortunately it turned cold and windy right before the start! Oh well, we had a great time anyway, but I sure am eagerly...
Boulder Cup Cyclocross Race Photos
You gotta love the crazy cross fans that come out to support this little ol’ fringe sport of cycling. You also gotta love Boulder in November; sunny dry and 70 degrees. Not exactly your hard core ‘cross weather, but it sure made for a fine day to drink beer in the park. Ryan Trebon and...
Redline Cup Cyclocross Race Boulder Colorado
Colorado was left off of the Crank Brothers US Gran Prix of Cyclocross this year, but that didn’t stop world class racing action to come to the cycling hotbed. Most of the top racers in the country came to duke it out on two different courses this past Saturday and Sunday. Saturday’s Redline Cup was...
