Outliving the bastards one hard-earned beer at a time.

  • Albion Loop

    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

    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…

  • Shots in Salt Lake City

    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.

    Home to Cheney

    It’s 5am and I’m rolling out of my hometown Pullman, Washington to bike up to my buddy’s house in Cheney. It’ll be about a 75 mile road ride, mostly on country two-lane highways. He’s going to have some BBQ and cold beer ready for me so my motivation is decently high. The ride was just…

    Snuck out on a Friday after work for a quick overnight campout in McCroskey State Park just north in Idaho.

  • Somewhere in Central Wash

    Somewhere in Central Wash

    Met April in the middle of the middle. It was her location and her plan, I was just along of the hike. The intention was to overnight at some designated campsite but we very quickly (not quickly enough) realized that we were completely off route. Decision-making wasn’t our best set of skills this trip and…

  • Grand Canyon 2006

    Grand Canyon 2006

    Was invited to hike the Canyon by a random group. Unfortunately, I didn’t document much at the time, but I did manage to save these photos. I do remember that the night before the hike we stayed at a hotel in Flagstaff. Waking up early to get on the road we walked to the parking…
