Last Week was one of the busiest of the spring/summer for the Tri-Loppet Group. We had a bit of a mini-triathlon within our daily activity. This wasn't intentional but rather a necessity due to a lack of bus transportation. So we used our resources wis...

Ever since last Spring’s epic crust cruise, I’ve wanted to go back to McKenzie pass and ski more of the lava flow. In particular, the North Side and Belknap Crater looked so wide open and fun. I almost went last weekend, but was turned off a bit by the warm temps. When Lars floated the idea of going out there yesterday afternoon I was immediately interested. When I woke up this morning to see an overnight low of 38 in Sisters and 34 up at Bachelor I was, as they say, all in.
We decided that since the road is currently open to bikes but not cars, we would make it a proper adventure and ride up to the snow with our skis on our backs.
This post is all about the photos. I'm going to try my best to take shots and upload them more frequently in between my lengthy literary updates to satifsy the fans (which only really amounts to Jamie Coatsworth, my mom and my dad).

We did our first baseline test of the year on Wednesday. It was not only a chance to get some information on everyone but it was also a chance to remind ourselves what it feels like to hurt. The test also provided the opportunity to fight those mental...
Whew! I was a little worried today that I’d been too bold in promising course records, but I was saved on two counts. First, upon reviewing the post in concern, I was relieved to see a typical fairly non-committal sentence (even mentioning it in a public forum is pretty bold for me). And second (although [...]
Amongst all the hours of training and skiing in Bend, we had the opportunity to explore and check out new places as well. In the past, several people told me how cool Smith Rock is, so I decided I better check it out! And sure enough, it was just as...
