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...
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.
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...
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,...
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....
While most of you were enjoying a three day weekend, I was working my butt off and shooting two weddings! Lucky for me I like shooting weddings . . . ;>) . . . and even luckier still the second one was up in Keystone. So I splurged on a resort hotel room for myself...
I brought an SB-26 and some Pocket Wizards on this Sunday’s mountain bike ride. My little Canon G9 has a hot shoe so that you can use big boy flashes on it. I strapped it to a tree to try and get some action shots in the deep dark woods. Unfortunately most of the crew...
I told myself at the beginning of the mountain bike season that I was going to ride one during the week and once on the weekend. Well, that hasn’t worked out so well. I haven’t even been able to squeeze in a weekend ride the last couple weeks. But not today damnit! Scott sent me...
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...
I set out for the 10:10 bus last Sunday, an ordinary Sunday, not all that different than the Sunday before. Well slightly different in that I didn’t have a set crew to ride with. I figured I’d see someone I knew. Sure enough Walt was there again with the Waltworks crew, plus Brent from the...
Am I allowed to still label this post ‘Daily Photo’ now that the photos no longer arrive daily? I’m at a rest stop on the way back from the show and I picked up a wireless signal so I thought I’d check my email and post a photo. In short, the show was very busy...
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.
One of the mistakes I’ve made in the past as a newly self employed individual was working through holidays. Life is too short to work on holidays, and I find that it makes me cranky anyway. So for the 4th of July our crew of 29ers headed out to Golden Gate Canyon State Park to...
A lot of my singlespeed friends are riding 29ers these days. The idea of wheels that roll over terrain more easily is quite attractive. But what about all that rotating weight? Won’t the bike still be slower and harder to pedal up these tough Colorado climbs? I set out to find out the answers myself...
Messing around with the photo below motivated me to finish off some unfinished business. I’m posting the pictures from our October mountain bike trip down to Colorado Springs. Four months late, I know, it’s a little sad. But on the other hand, I now have some fresh bike related content! It is going to be...
Back in June I brought the camera out to the Bartlett Wash slickrock near Moab. This riding area is like slickrock on steriods. There are big drops, bowls, and wall ride, as well as some super scenery. Jose and I met up with Carol and Mike of Ellsworth, who were in the midst of a...
