Here are a couple of the photos I took while biking up South Mountain Yesterday. I did get a little lost and went up the wrong way to a hiking trail the first time. Granted, a pedestrian only trail would have been safer. There were so many cars, many of which I only were were [...]

Riding Weather
I love the fall for the colors of the leaves, the brisk air, and the overall beautiful riding weather. The Wayzata ride I normally do was absolutely gorgeous. I have missed out the couple Saturdays before last weekend, but I think this Saturday I am going to try and make it out there again. I [...]
Now Entering Hudson
I have been missing out on quite a few rides in order to finish up a couple projects with work that had missed their deadline due to feature creep. Today though… today I did over 60 miles which was nice. Unfortunately I am pretty out of shape , especially while using a fixed gear in [...]
Common Route
I have really been liking this route I do, but I am not sure how well it will work once winter (mainly the snow) comes. I didn’t discover the route until this year, but it is almost 40 miles which is perfect. The route takes me through Wayzata which is a fancy pants city in [...]
Hudson, WI
I am tying this out as my neighbors kid is yelling, “mom” incredibly loud to try and get her to open the door. My windows are open, making the yelling even more annoying. Anyhow… I headed over to Wisconsin at the end of last month just so I could give myself a pat on the [...]
4th of July
Leading up to the 4th of July I was doing a 40 mile ride every other night so I could build some endurance for what would be a 130 mile ride from Minneapolis to Brainerd. I found a pretty nice path that goes along the greenway and then up through Wayzata and comes back into [...]
The Mountain Goats at The Varsity
Tuesdays are looking to be good show dates. Last Tuesday I went to see The Mountain Goats with my friends Danaca and Levi which was pretty awesome. The band Communist Daughter opened up for them and I ended up really liking them. They were not at all what I expected. This Tuesday I will be [...]
Sunny in Minneapolis
Last week was great. Sunny came up from California and we rode bikes around the city. I showed her the nooks and crannies of nature in this city, as well as some vegan friendly restaurants. I realized after she left we didn’t see any of the museums or artistic aspects of the city, but I [...]
The Last Month
I really suck at updating this, but I have some photos I also want to post. Norman came for a visit which was nice. He will be moving up here in August, shortly before I head out again. Right now he is in Israel though, which means no phone calls for a little while. I [...]
Snow Day 12/11
Oh man, we just got hit hard and wcco predicts up to 20 inches of snowfall by end of day today. Pretty amazing, and more amazing to see all of the cars and trucks that can’t make it through. Good thing I am on my bicycle with slicks. Definitely had to make a photo run, [...]
