I wish I was not posting this link today. Steve Larsen, cycling legend, occasional training partner , respected person and athlete passed away last night from a heart attack.
You will be missed. Mine and my wife's sympathy goes out to you family. 39 years young. Husband, father, fit as you could be, still tearing up anything he tried.
Cycling has lost a good one. I dont get it

I hate to do it, but I am going to hit everyone up for a little love. Hollie and I are doing a 50 mile fun raiser mountain bike event to raise money for the Big Brothers Big Sisters chapter here in town.

West Shore Backcountry ski tour

Not a Bad View of Lake Tahoe...

Hollie and I got in the backcountry this morning up in Tahoe with our friends, Rick, Susan, Deb and Craig. Lots of new snow and one hell of a steep skin track up

Hollie on the split board

When we lived in Utah we used to do this quite a bit...but hollie snowshoed. Skinning is much faster! The heavy powder today affectionately known as "Sierra Cement" reminded us how much we love Utah

Almost to the top.

Hardly any wind today and temps in the 30's. Beautiful day

I love a good tour.

loving old man winter

I think Udo was born to be a sled dog. He pulled so hard

since the weather was so awful yesterday we did not venture too high up the mountain. We did not need to go to far because the snow is soooo low.

Couldnt be happier

Hollie, fox and chris, udo breaking trail

In the trenches

Tons of snow. We had a great time snowshoeing yesterday. The only downer was the fact that I got the truck stuck and it took about an hour to recover the vehicle. I had nothing i needed. thankfully a passer by lent us a shovel. I could have used a wench and a tree saver for sure!
