Dicks-A-Thon
Nearly every year, I meet up with my college buddies somewhere and we go to an Arizona State football game. This year we met up in Seattle and, true to my nature, I found a running event to do. The Dicks-a-Thon is a 26 or 14 mile run around hilly Seattle where you go navigate…

Web Overhaul
Blogging is dead. Long live the blog. I’m no longer taking freelance work* so there was no real need to keep a professional site going for design stuff. If you arrived here via https://mackey.design you’ve got the correct online presence. This is the new manifest—an untidy home to anything I deem worthy of the time…

Haystack Rock & Terrible Tilly
Drove out to the Oregon Coast for ‘spring break’. The weather was shit and it was too early for puffins, but we ate some great fish-n-chips and went for a couple of nice hikes. Plus, setting up the camera + tripod on the rainy beach with 30mph winds was entertaining for everyone inside the restaurant…

Rebecca’s Private Idaho
Corrie and I (and a few hundred others) dodged the smoke from wildfires raging in Idaho and Washington to ride our bikes in beautiful Ketchum, ID. The gravel was supreme, the climbs were long, and the headwind was bastardly. Pedals turned and beers earned, as they say. I should be better and snapping pics whilst…

Medical Lake Loop
Out for an early-season training ride. I’ve been cooped up for a long winter/spring and needed to get out and feel some pain and cool wind. A 60-miler should do it.

Albion Loop
Road cycling is freeing. The constant wind in your face, views flying by quickly, but no so quickly that you can’t digest them, the effort and the low-grade fear of vehicles. Every ride is a true to life experience. There’s a loop around here some refer to as the Albion Loop that starts in Pullman,…

Obliteride 2020
The Fred Hutch Foundation (based in Seattle) hosts a fundraising event every year called the Obliteride, with the intent on raising money to obliterate cancer through research. Because COVID, this year’s event is virtual so I planned my own century route. Last week I headed out for a lunch ride where, long story short, I…

Sonoran Revisit
Visited the hometown of Ahwatukee, Arizona. I grew up mountain biking South Mountain park, but this trip I brought my road bike and clocked about 60 miles around, and up to the top, of the mountain.

Shots in Salt Lake City
Meet up with the college buddies for a good ‘ol fashioned football tailgate. The weather was miserable as was the outcome of the game, but Utah fans were the absolute best. Shot with a Kodak disposable.

Tents in Roslyn
Followed the brother-in-law out into the wilds of roslyn, washington for a few days of traversing barely-navigable trails and encountering incredible views.
Outliving the bastards one hard-earned beer at a time.
