It’s only two weeks until the 60K race I am riding up in Island Park, ID. I needed to get out for a long ride in the snow today. The problem is that we have received so much snow in the past 10 days that the avalanche hazard is extreme just about everywhere. And you […]

This three video series is about Mike Curiak’s unsupported 1,100 mile ride along the Iditarod Trail from Knik to Nome, Alaska. Usually one will stop at the various villages […]
A ride report by the Professor. It’s been raining in the valleys for the past two days. That means wet, heavy snow in the mountains. As of this morning the Provo mountains had received 16″ of new snow. So, what were we thinking? We drove up to the Pine Hollow trailhead up the Alpine Loop. […]
