Show announcement...

2010-02-02T14:37:00.000-08:00

I am having a show at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography Gallery. The show opens on First Friday, February 5th, and all of the photographs will be cycling related. The images will hang through the end of March. Hope to see you there...

But since it is still winter, here's a shot from a biathlon race I shot a few days ago...

Breakfast in Labelle

2009-12-22T05:52:00.000-08:00

With the locals. And really...it's high comedy with the retired community from Labelle.

Extremes

2009-12-21T07:01:00.001-08:00

From lows in the mid-70's a couple of days ago, to leaving Fort Myers Beach in 40 degree temps. Kinda brrrr.

With the locals

2009-12-19T07:00:00.001-08:00

Washing clothes with the local folks. Everyone here seems to decorate their bikes...this bike has flowers and a plastic parrot. On the way here I saw a guy riding his bike down the street with a real parrot on his handlebars. This place is different....

Trapped by the rain

2009-12-18T11:35:00.000-08:00

Another off day in Key West. Came to the post office to mail items. Have been trying to leave for almost an hour but the rain is coming down so hard that we can't even run a block down the road. Wow...impressive!

We also shared the campsite with 3 iguanas. It will be a good idea to zip the tent tonight...

Company

2009-12-14T16:12:00.001-08:00

We met Mario, Natalie and their children on the road today. They are from Quebec and have been cycling for four months. We ended up sharing a campsite and great dinner. Thast seems to happen when on bike trips.

Racing darkness

2009-12-13T18:37:00.001-08:00

A few things made this a long day. Urban riding in downtown Miami; a smoothie; a dog in a ditch. We ended up rolling into Florida City in darkness and right across the street from the campground was a Ramada. Guess where we stayed....

2009-12-11T13:55:00.001-08:00

I've never done a bike trip in the winter, and I've never been to Key West. So why not combine the two? It seems like such an occasion calls for a new wardrobe. So a trip to Goodwill happened and some amazing garments were procured.

First Friday

2009-10-01T11:33:00.000-07:00

If you've driven, ridden or walked on the Higgins Street bridge in Missoula over the past few weeks you might have seen me there lying in the middle of a traffic lane with my camera...trying to direct models with flying objects or spinning fire. This friday, October 2nd from 5:00 to 8:00, I'm having an opening at Betty's Divine of the photographs from these crazy escapades. I'd like to invite you to come by Friday night and check them out while enjoying a glass of wine and some cookies with the hip people that frequent Betty's on such occasions.

Betty's is located at 521 S Higgins Ave on the Hip Strip.

And contrary to what the Missoula policeman told me, the Higgins Street bridge makes an excellent stage!

One of the great things about being around the Rapha Continental riders was their down to earth-ness. Strong riders who just love riding their bikes. Cole Maness loved to pick flowers, go into thrift stores and add miles to his day by pedaling off the designated route......must be the handlebar mustache.

Chris Milliman shooting a few members of the Rapha Continental riders at Le Petit Outre before hitting the road to go ride. One of the best parts of any day....pre-ride coffee.
