ColoRADo summer!

This summer has been amazing.  I've spent so much time outdoors this summer, and have gone camping almost every other weekend with my beautiful wife Andrea.  Here's a snapshot of what the past few of weeks have held.

Biking down Pikes Peak (from tree-line @ 12,000 ft):

Leadville Trail 100 MTB Race:

 Andrea and I on the "Powerline"

 1st Place finisher - Todd Wells  6:23:38

 2nd Place finisher - Alban Lakata  6:27:57

 My friend Todd Murray!

 Nothing wrong with double-fisting it

 One of my favorite images from this summer

After a night of camping we hiked Mt. Elbert.  

The tallest peak in Colorado @ 14,433 ft

Day One of the U.S. Pro Cycling Challenge!:

Check out those "stunna" shades!

Loving the new music by Ben Howard.

His debut album comes out in October. 

I'm hoping it'll be available in the States.

HERE'S the song, Keep Your Head Up

It's a "two-fer"...

1st up, a hilarious idea for an engagement shoot: HERE

2ndly, a band I stumbled across yesterday that has music videos equally as beautiful as their music: HERE
