Holladay Sunsets

I think I’ve mentioned before that one of the things I love about living in Utah is the absolutely amazing sunsets we get at times … below are a couple of images of tonight’s sunset, as seen from the roof of my building in Holladay.

I Think I CANyons Benefit Ride

Got the following email from local Utah rider Alex Rock this afternoon. Seems like a great cause, so reposting in the hopes of generating some interest for the ride.

For those that don’t already know, I am planning a charity bicycle ride this summer to raise money for the Fourth Street Clinic (an organization [...]

Photos published!

Two of my photos were published by the Salt Lake Tribune this morning, in a profile feature about the upcoming Utah State Time Trial Championships this weekend.

One of the photos is of Norm Bryner at the Sugarhouse Criterium; the other is of Norm and Dave Harward at the Utah State Criterium Championships a [...]

Red Butte Oil Leak

Much smaller than the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico, but to residents of Salt Lake City, it helps bring the problem home. Hopefully Chevron is much more proactive about addressing the problems here than British Petroleum has been in the Gulf.

A leak from an underground oil pipeline may have gone undetected [...]

2010 Ride #14

I’m skipping the details on posting ride #14, because it was basically just a couple short ones from Liberty Park to Pioneer Park and back on the fixed gear … with several hours hanging out at Pioneer Park shooting photos of the Utah State Criterium Championships. Pics later.

Hie thee to High West!

If you live in Utah, and have yet to visit High West Distillery and Saloon in Park City, then hie your ass there ASAP for food and drink.

I first heard about High West in late 2008 when I saw a bottle of their Rendezvous Rye whiskey at the State Liquor Store … a [...]

First Vancouver, now the Tour of Utah?

I’m not sure when I started following the stereotypical Utah trait of claiming anyone with even the remotest connection with the state as one of our own. Hell, I’m not even sure when I started thinking of myself as a Utahn (in addition to being from both a Northern Californian and a Tennesseean).

Regardless, [...]

Sponsorship returning to cycling

Great news on the sponsorship front for some major races in the United States.

Pepsi sponsorship saves Tour of Battenkill

The United States of America was close to losing the UCI-sanctioned Tour of Battenkill when its former sponsor pulled its funding two months ago, but organizer Dieter Drake has found a replacement in PepsiCo [...]
