Well, I survived my time down in Antarctica and I’m back recovering in New Zealand. Yes. I call it recovering – not vacation. The original plan was to arrive in New Zealand & head south for some ‘training’ down in the area around Queenstown & Wanaka. Yeah, training for the 2011 edition of the 240km… Read More Back to Civilization: New Zealand Aventures Part 1

Yes, Prob-eee would go nuts… Read More Antarctica – Just Crazy Stuff
The real work starts tonight or tomorrow or Sunday or Monday. One of these days I’ll start working, maybe. Until then I wanted to post some pictures for my two favorite B.P.R. blog addicts – my two nieces, i.e., the two kid freaks that are holding up The Kid Chapter at the Back of the Pack. And… Read More Antarctica – A short tour of McMurdo Station & Scott Base
Antarctica is COOL! Happy Camper School is COLD! At least this time of year. So you may be wondering what the hell am I doing down in Antarctica. Well, I’ll tell you, later. Let’s just say that I’m NOT down here looking for Aliens. But I should be looking for Aliens. Because there probably is… Read More Antarctica – The First Few Days
It’s been a crazy couple of months. It took everything I had to prepare mentally for this trip. (Not physically, obviously. That’s covered by my psychotic biking hobby.) I’m a few days into a trip of a lifetime – the real trip starts in 36 hours, weather permitting. I hope to publish updates as my… Read More To New Zealand and Beyond
Well, my mind has been elsewhere for 6 or so weeks. Soon my body will be elsewhere too. Tuesday I board a plane for an adventure of a lifetime. (A HUGE thanks to all you United States citizens that pay taxes!) Because of this upcoming adventure I’ve been unable to focus on bike races and… Read More The Zuni 100…. Or Zuni 36
The 24 Hours of Colorado Spring – 2011 National Championships. Yep, didn’t really happen for me OR The Lt Col. Just one of those things. And it’s been really hard to find motivation to document the Ludacracy that occured, as usual, at the Back of the Pack. Why the lack of motivation? Well, it’s simple.… Read More 24 Hrs of COS: The Curse of the Pink Futon
What an adventure! The traverse across Colorado was either 503.4 miles or 499.7 miles – depends on if I count the numerous ‘circles’ and ‘backtracks’ that I executed for numerous reasons. That’s right. I keep track of every inch traveled and every second elapsed. Why? Why not? Dude… Dudette. The adventure started out as an… Read More 500 miles across Colorado – Most on ‘The Trail’
That’s right. I’m headed back to the Colorado Trail. Another end-to-end attempt. Why would I do such a thing? Because I can. Because I want to. Because it’s there. Because I belong there. Yeah. I really do. Some friends may meet me on the trail. Maybe. The Morale Chairman may meet me on the trail.… Read More Back to the Colorado Trail – Because That’s Where I Belong
That’s right B.P.R. Fans. The Lt Col predicted a podium and The Lt Col delivered… 3rd place in solo single speed. I don’t know the details – as The Lt Col refuses to use technology like email, cell phones, text msgs, etc. Ok. The Lt Col refuses to use technology ONLY when he isn’t flying… Read More The Lt Col Podiums @ 24 Hrs in the Sage!
