Sun Dancing

May 31, 2018 Facts Mountain Biking Travelling No Comments

After breakfast, I took a bike ride in the surrounding area. I’m not sure what to say about altitude training right now; we’re at 1400 feet and I was definitely panting. Plus wtf I’ve been biking pretty consistently for some months now. Does climbing ever get easier? A view of…

An Appointment With Knowledge

May 31, 2018 Facts Improving Travelling No Comments

A hard day’s drive landed us in Pickstown, SD. You better watch out when the big trucks roar past that they don’t blow you off the road! We are here to meet with Chief Izzy of the Lakota. We spent the night listening to his wisdom. He explains that we…

Where The Buffalo Roam

May 29, 2018 Facts Travelling No Comments

After a nice morning with Mme DK and M KJ we drove carefully down the slippery dirt road back to Douglas, tended to some items requiring internet and reception, and left to continue our eastern trajectory. More of wondrous Wyoming. Did you know there is a Wyoming ordinance requiring 100…

Let’s Discuss The Meaning Of Life

May 29, 2018 Facts Mountain Biking Travelling No Comments

11 hours of sleep later I arose, just as the clan was off to visit the magnificent land we briefly walked around yesterday. Perhaps this would be the first visit without rain. There is a saying that we are the average of the 2/5/whatever people we hang with the most.…

The Wild West

May 29, 2018 Facts Travelling No Comments

Today took us into a 16 person neighborhood in the surrounding mountains where we are now staying, an area which is remote for locals. The big city of Douglas is, to me, already a long way from home. Not long after we arrived, M K and M KJ took us…

The Great Wide Open

May 27, 2018 Culinary Travelling No Comments

We left our short term rental and went straight back to The French Kitchen, and for breakfast and over the day savored the taste, texture and smell of the culinary art. In Denver I picked up 7 of those righteous Trader Joe’s 85% chocolate bars and breathed a sigh of…

In The Garden Of The Gods

May 25, 2018 Culinary Mountain Biking Travelling No Comments

I am not sure if I can naturally wake up before 9 AM. I definitely do not recall this happening since I left my alarms in California. Today, I must have slept 10 h 40 m and I don’t remember waking up at all. M TW, from long ago, would…

Too Much For Little Zekey

May 24, 2018 Culinary Facts Mountain Biking Travelling No Comments

Yeah, I know that rhymes with squeaky. We slept a ton, woke up slow, and took our time leaving. Finally we made it for a quick ride at Bear Creek Park and then headed up the road to Pikes Peak. At 14115′, it is the highest the truck and I…

Switching Gears

May 23, 2018 Culinary Itinerary Travelling No Comments

We are close to hitting the afterburners to high tail it east. The bus has to be found and renovated and, holy smokes, July is coming up fast! Being here has answered some big time questions surrounding the Recorrido. We now have a philosophically aligned fiscal sponsor to allow for…

Gotta Own My Part

May 23, 2018 Travelling No Comments

We are staying another day in Crestone. Many positive things going on. I took the opportunity to ride Sunshine Kitty – Rock Drops Loop. A look at the crazy rocks the trail wove around and over. It is one of the rarified Zeke Certified (TM) trails. Actually, there are only…
