Leaving Whistler
In the blink of an eye two and half months at Whistler have passed. Remarkably I’m still in one piece and feeling strong. My bike has not been so lucky. I’m not even taking it home. I donated what was still useable but there wasn’t much left. Riding the park understandably accelerated the wear on…

I Got Podcasted
PinkBike had me on their podcast talking for a while. Being on podcasts kind of gives me anxiety to be honest. As soon as we were done recording and I was alone with my thoughts I started thinking about all the silly things I’ve said. Some possibly offensive and more most likely to be misunderstood.…

The Bike Path
It’s a wonder to me that after all these years I still waste time second guessing how much of my life-force I direct at riding bikes. Back when I was a pro I managed to wrestle this thought line into submission but now that I’m just a normal person with a cycling hobby the self…

Wandering…
5 weeks ago… I sold my house and got rid of most everything I owned. I drove away. 10 hours later I stopped at my Aunt’s house down in Fenton, MI and left a box of taxes and a box of friend’s art. My Aunt said, “I figured out the true meaning of TAJ– it’s…
