No matter where you go ...

Feeling very down in the dumps today.

A number of friends going through events I can’t really help them with, as much as I want to … I recognize that some things people have to deal with in their own time, in their own manner.

I’m also feeling very isolated & alone myself, [...]

Crusher in the Tushar

Burke Swindlehurst’s new event, the Crusher in the Tushar, will be having its inaugural running this summer on July 16.

The 79 mile course starts in quiet downtown Beaver, Utah and finishes at Utah’s newest ski resort, Eagle Point, and will feature a nearly perfect 50/50 split between pavement and dirt fire-road sectors, allowing riders [...]

Poetry Friday

BLUE

Blue, but you are Rose, too, and buttermilk, but with blood dots showing through. A little salty your white nape boy-wide. Glinting hairs shoot back of your ears’ Rose that tongues like to feel the maze of, slip into the funnel, tell a thunder-whisper to. When I kiss, your eyes’ straight lashes down crisp [...]

An Open Letter to Rep. James Matheson

Dear Rep. Matheson –

I cannot believe that you support removing the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to implement water quality guidance for mountaintop removal sites (as demonstrated by your vote in roll call #129, supporting amendment #109 to H.R.1).

I cannot believe that you support removing the EPA’s authority to protect citizens and residents [...]

Clammy Chamois ‘Cross

You know you don’t really want a week off between cross races … you’d have to do stuff like CHORES! or spending time with the FAMILY? It’s time to get the chamois clammy … it’s time to roll in the mud and sand and dirt and grass and snow. It’s time for Clammy Chamois!

For [...]

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 that [...]

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 couple [...]

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 for [...]

View from the backyard

It’s times like this that I really love living in Utah.
