Mount Theodore Roosevelt, Lawrence County, South Dakota
Written on May 4, 2013 at 15:52, by samh
After a strenuous multi-mile drive and an imposing walk of hundreds of feet we climbed the thirty-one foot summit “Friendship Tower” with ten cheeseburgers and a backpack full of beer. Celebrating our buddy Adam’s bachelorhood before he marries this summer made for a great opportunity to explore some of the “mountain” tops of the beautifulContinue Reading
EDC for the Bicycle Commuter
Written on December 10, 2012 at 11:30, by samh
I ride my bicycle to work and for many of my errands year round and as such the potential for a mechanical is always in the back of my mind. Fortunately a few simple tools are all that are necessary for most repairs. The other key repair element not pictured is a telephone – becauseContinue Reading
Ruck, Pulk, and Christmas Tree
Written on November 27, 2012 at 18:00, by samh
It’s been many months since I’ve taken the time to write or share photographs about my adventures of this summer or fall and now, as we’ve solidly moved into winter here in Bozeman I felt like sharing about an outing my fiancee and I took this past weekend. We loaded our workhorse of a pulkContinue Reading

Participated in a 55 mile gravel road race/ride last weekend. @LotoMojo did a nice write-up post-race so I won’t bother with my own. Go check it out if you’re into that sort of thing over at our local cycling blog, “The Bozeman Fix” – Morganzo 55 Wrap-Up. – – –
Asphalt and Corn: Biking and Skiing
Written on April 14, 2012 at 07:50, by samh
Yesterday morning after a very positive job interview (which I look forward to sharing more about in the near future) my buddy Mike sent me a text about going for a bike ride. We’d been talking about strapping our skis to our bicycles and heading up the most popular mountain access road in Bozeman –Continue Reading
The Bangtail Divide
Written on September 27, 2011 at 22:13, by samh
A short drive North of my fair burgh of Bozeman is a sub-range called the Bangtails. It has been heavily ravaged by logging over the decades and is home to a diverse crowd of users in/on logging trucks, motorbikes, snowmobiles, bicycles, foot, and ORV. Along the crest of this length of earth rising around 2,000′Continue Reading

Having enjoyed a nice Saturday and Sunday relaxing but not having gotten out for anything epic (I know, I know, a potential waste of a three-day weekend) upon awaking on Monday morning I looked at my phone to see a text message announcing the automatic weather station at Bridger Bowl (now closed for the season)Continue Reading
Things Are Warming Up
Written on April 18, 2011 at 09:38, by samh
The chickadees can be heard calling out to potential mates with their mating call, the once pristine piles of snow in town have been reduced to hunks of dirty, gritty ice, and the snow line is visibly moving upward from the valley toward the mountain tops. For those willing to walk the ski season isContinue Reading
