A few years ago I became part of the Adventure Cycling Association. In many ways becoming part of this organization has helped me find my way.

This evening, I stood atop an awkward stepped chute with an annoying left-hand turn half way down. It wasn’t too steep, and it wasn’t too long, but I just couldn’t figure out how to navigate my way through it. After a half dozen failed attempts, I found myself back up at the top with a new strategy.

I tried and failed my first Arrowhead attempt in 2007 and was taught a whole list of frightening lessons at 30 below zero, in the dark of night. In 2008 I tried it again, battled some ghosts and re-examined some emotional scars, and successfully made it to the finish line. Of course, I didn’t leave well enough alone and in 2009 gave it another go…and fell short again.

As the years accumulate, I value adventures and companionship more and more. We have elevated our curiosity and boldness to a creed by bushwhacking our way through the backwoods, mountains and deserts of this globe.

It is late January, and despite the relatively easy winter we’ve had this year, road trips are on the brain.

Sometimes the best thoughts come to you in the middle of the night.

Life can sometimes get caught in a routine. The route you take to work. The way you shop at the grocery store. The way you take a shower. Now I’m not saying a routine is always bad, but for me I sometimes need a break from it.

Last Friday afternoon a shipment of prototypes arrived and a bunch of us hurried down to the PD&D shop in anxious anticipation.

There’s something about sitting around a fire under the stars, have a few brews, sleeping in a tent on a lumpy, thin, foam pad, waking up to the sunrise, riding yourself into the ground, and then repeating that is quite invigorating.

The snow cover was complete and a soft, cold crunch accompanied me along the way.
