My Roots are in the Rocks

Mon. Jan. 31st, 2011

The September sun burned hot on my back. Muscles in my shoulders ached, as I rocked the gravel sifter back and forth. I felt primitive and exhausted, as I hunched over the trough of water, but for some reason I couldn’t help but smile. I belonged…

Skiing from the Sickbed

Mon. Jan. 31st, 2011

“Telling me how great your ski day was does not make me feel better. I am not skiing vicariously through you,” my neighbor, avid skier and part time ski patroller, reflected when her season last year was cut short due to a broken arm. She was in…

Seneca Boards Interview

Mon. Jan. 31st, 2011

14th Annual Bozeman Ice Climbing Festival

Fri. Dec. 3rd, 2010

In the late sixties and into the early seventies, climbing, on any medium was a far different game than it is today. Ascending difficult rock routes, for example, meant you wore a nappy old head band tied around an even nappier head of hair and the…

406: For Beginners

Fri. Dec. 3rd, 2010

As winter wraps itself around our curvy natural state, we are compelled to accessorize with an arsenal of winter gear. Dusting off those Sorels gives me an odd sense of pleasure, as if I am unholstering a life saving piece of integral warfare…

Climb On

Wed. Nov. 3rd, 2010

When the Rubber Hits the Ice

Sat. Oct. 2nd, 2010

As autumn’s crisp morning air sets in and stirs the blood while you furiously pedal to warm up, the thought enters one’s head that this is one of the most exhilarating times of year to be on a bike. The colors stimulate the eye as well as the…

Grand Theft Bicycle

Wed. Sep. 8th, 2010

Bozeman, Montana. Small town, friendly people, very little crime and an abundance of generosity. Who would ever think their possessions would be in danger of getting stolen? After all, can’t a person still be hung for horse theft in…

Preparing for the Ride

Tue. Jul. 6th, 2010

Brian Menkhaus The trails are finally drying up, beckoning riders to set out upon another season of muscle-straining, shin-smashing, dirt-eating thrills. The self-imposed pains are a small price to pay for the joys and adventures found on two wheels…

Hey Bikers: Don’t forget you ARE Traffic

Tue. Jun. 1st, 2010

Bike Month: It’s Time to Fix it Up

Sat. May. 1st, 2010

Brian Menkhaus It’s that time again. Winter has released its icy grip and allowed the sun to once again warm our faces, lure us outside, and tease us with weather perfect for biking. And, as always, it pukes another twelve inches after all the…
