The Prep Before jumping into three intense days of avalanche training (January 6–8), I needed to make sure my snowmobile was running at the top of its game. On Saturday, January 3rd, I went on a test ride with Nate Stonely, whom I’d met through Facebook. That ride proved essential—it revealed a worn-out pull start,…

This year there has been more repairing than I can ever recall any other year. One thing after another was breaking. The fixing started with cell phones. I repaired a Samsung Note 10. That repair didn’t go according to plan largely due to me learning how to do microsoldering. Then the car was needing some…

Well after nearly 18 months of this blog being broke I’ve moved from b2evolution to wordpress due to the fact that the main developer of b2evolution no longer wanted to update the web app for new European regulations. With the change I’ve had to add pictures to the blog on the individual entries. I may…

In 2014 I trained, and raced the Park City Point to Point race. The race was tough. Essentially the number of hours I put into training was rather staggering. There was nothing more than to complete the race. In a sense I have payed for the choice to train, and finish the race. Ever since…

For my Memorial Day activity I chose to do a big long ride. The plan was to go on the trail from Providence Canyon to Millville Canyon by way of the trail that follows the contour of the mountain. I last rode the contour trail three years ago in October. I had since forgotten how…

So I went on a big long bike ride on Saturday since I could and the mountains are finally clearing! First I had a good strong ride up Ricks Canyon which on Strava gave me a KOM. I actually just improved on my KOM from the previous week which was cool. Then with me at…

Me and Kristie had a great time at the Cactus Hugger race that was held in St. George, UT. The sports class race was 12 miles long with each lap being six miles. I had a time of about 1:05:25 according to the GPS and an unofficial time of about 1:15. Kristie did good with…

What do I feel when I am about to race? Racing gets me so pumped up! Now that I’m finally getting my asthma/COPD/etc under better management I am getting really excited to do some more racing after the Desert Rampage race at the beginning of March. The next race I’m doing is the Cactus Hugger…
