Hardrock 100
This is the weekend for the mother of all 100 mile runs, the Hardrock. 100 miles and 33k of vert through the most rugged mountains in CO. Crux section below, traversing 14er Handies Peak. It’s one of my ultimate goals to do this. You must submit a resume of runs to be considered, and even…

Remembrance
Of the old days. My friend Renan from back in my Colorado College days has been busy lately. It’s funny to read about him climbing 5.12 on big mountains these days, as 6 years ago he could barely climb 5.10.

Saturday
What to do after a tough week at work, when I’m not allowing myself to ride that much? Go to the gym, cook, and work on bikes. Yesterday I got my old Phil off the Gunnar. A little cleaning and it’s good as new (only difference are the broken in bearings). Amazing for 18 months…

Written and directed by Brad Bird and displaying the usual meticulousness associated with the Pixar brand, “Ratatouille” is a nearly flawless piece of popular art, as well as one of the most persuasive portraits of an artist ever committed to film. It provides the kind of deep, transporting pleasure, at once simple and sophisticated, that…
