Primal Photo of the Day

While ascending La Plata Peak at about 14,000 feet in the Sawatch Range, Colorful Colorado was in full effect, and I was momentarily mesmerized by this scene.

Dead Dog Classic road bike stage race June 23-24

Last June I had just moved to Laramie and still hadn’t realized how prevalent outdoors recreation is in this high plains town with mountain ranges to either side, trails galore and many athletes.  Walking downtown, I saw a flyer for the upcoming Dead Dog Classic, a road bike stage race with a long history.  I … Continue reading »

We’re down in Fort Collins, Colo., for a two-year-old’s birthday party today.  I thought I’d squeeze a ride in this morning before the festivities start this afternoon.  The weather had a different idea: This is a fairly cold weather system, and the mountains got snow last night.  Here’s the scene at A-Basin this morning. And … Continue reading »
