I'm sitting here in Colorado looking at fresh snow on the ground as I'm thinking about my recent mountain biking in Sedona, Arizona and Moab, Utah. Thankfully I'm still plenty stoked from the trip, which makes our sub-freezing temps more tolerable.
Congratulations to Nick Gould and teammate, Travis Hauck, for dominating the Open Men Duo category at TransRockies Classic with an overall time of 24:34:48 while winning all seven stages!
I made the drive to Emporia, Kansas, AKA Gravel City, for Dirty Kanza last week and am still buzzing from the experience. If you like suffering on dirt roads, great hospitality, and oversized food portions, Emporia was the place to be.
Big weekends -- our mini vacations sneaking off to some nearby local to mountain bike, road ride, run, or hike -- are what motivate many of us to get through the work week. By Monday morning we're often considering our next adventure. Lately I had gotten a little too busy with work and had difficulty coordinating with friends. I felt that summer was slipping away, so this past weekend I was on a mission do something memorable even if it meant a solo adventure.
