What will 2008 bring? I am not entirely sure yet. But one thing is certain, and that is that the possibilities are endless. One of the best things I did in 2007 was buy TOPO! Utah. It opened up a new world of virtual exploration. The 2007 Wasatch Classic route was created using TOPO! And [...]
Dry leaves, cool temperatures, grey skies. Fantastic singletrack. Late fall, Utah. Dry Canyon trail, Utah County
Before the 24 Hours of Moab, Keith and I drove up to Geyser Pass in the La Sal mountains. It was the first time I had been up to that part of the range, I was blown away by the enormous nature of those mountains. From Moab the La Sals are everywhere, always visible in [...]
This time of year I usually eat some junk food, lay around after work a lot and generally try and see how the average American lives. It ‘aint pretty! But my descent into gluttony and slothfulness is short lived. Thankfully. Now it is time to hunker down, and brace for winter. I am in heavy [...]

The sun is touching the fretted tablelands on the west. It seems to bulge a little, to expand for a moment, and then it drops—abruptly—over the edge. I listen for a long time. -E. A. It is always difficult to wrap my mind around the 24 Hours of Moab. At least, it always seems to [...]
More words are coming. But as always, the 24 Hours of Moab was memorable, difficult, relentless, epic, and all together a fantastic season ending weekend.
