Slow Bike and Local Wine
It's very simple. I believe the universe is balanced. You know, Yin and Yang. And so it is with bicycles. This weekend was an excellent example of how it works.
Yesterday I rode hills on my Italian road bike and had a great time going fast and cranking up the hills. Today, I had an equally good time doing the opposite in nearly every way. I rode my Dad's old Schwinn Varsity and went as slowly as I could. I stopped at a local winery (Woodinville is famous for wine, actually), tasted a few of their wines, and bought a bottle of syrah. Then I poked along the bike trail and up the hill back to my home. Slowly. No jersey, no bike computer, no lycra, no carbon, and no speed.
Yesterday was a Yang day, today was reserved for Yin.
I raise my glass to balance.

On the road to a green belt...
...and from the sidelines your Dad is deeply inspired by your commitment, agility, power, and focus. I'll be applying the lessons you are teaching me about these things to my own life.
Thanks Nils!

Spring can be a bit fuzzy...
...and I am reminded that the great circle of life carries on, one season to the next, regardless of whether we want it to or not. Life is bursting out all around and it only requires a short walk and an open mind to experience it first hand. The fuzziness turns to clarity when those seeds take root and the next generation carries on with the business of life.
My recommendation? Take a walk. Today. Now.
Don't be too busy to feel the pulse.

Mt. Bona
And the spring cleaning continues. This is me and my friend Doug Barlow on the summit of Mt. Bona in the Alaskan St. Elias range in June of 1993. Doug did the first telemark ski descent of Bona just a few minutes after this photo was taken. When we got back to our high camp, which we had dug into a crevasse, we debated about the weather and finally packed up and skied down to a lower camp. The 5,000 foot descent was almost all extremely ugly breakable crust and not even Doug could ski it. Full packs, crevasses, and trap crust - oh what a recipe for fun kick turns! Sure enough, the next couple of days were bitterly cold and stormy and kept us close to camp.
More from The Dim Time
Fun what spring cleaning brings to the surface. That's me and my pal Elsa. She was a good friend for many years. And my Dad was behind the camera - an influence that effects me every single day right up to this very moment. Something about the camera that I just can't seem to shake...
Found this photo from The Dim Time
From a trip to the Enchantments with my Dad in 1985. This was taken at Aasgard Pass near the top looking down to Colchuck Lake. We had an amazing trip watching storms roll in from the east, climbing to summits, birdwatching, and just simply buddying around in the wilds. The great thing is that I can say the same thing about our trips together these days.
I liked those mountain glasses...

Spring League Ultimate continued...
I've been playing with an outstanding group of folks. The name of the team is Fish Is Meat (a classic ultimate team name in the best tradition of the game). This group plays hard, has fun, and never quits. They have excellent spirit and Manny is a beer guy.
I like this team.

Spring skiing at Whistler
A little lift skiing, backcountry skiing, mountain biking, pub fare, trail running, and good company add up to an outstanding weekend of fun - and even a little bit of work thrown in.
