This weekend I’ll tackle a mountain bike event of a different nature, the Leadville 100 ultra endurance race. I’m anticipating it will be as equally tiring as Crankworx but in a different way. Bottom line – I’ll be busier than a one-armed paper hanger. At least the course is a 50 mile out and back and I’ll be able to capture the action and emotion in both directions.
The Wide Eyed World was featured on MountainBike.com this week after spending last weekend shooting at Crankworx Colorado. The festival took place at Winter Park Ski Area and featured a full compliment of freeride mountain bike events. Leslie was on hand for all of the events and got a front row seat for all of the action.
Just got back from a week of camping – we’re smelly, tan, and happy. Seven days of living outside does wonders for your body, mind and soul. We got away from the daily grind (yes, even our job wears us down) and took the time to reconnect with nature and some very good friends.
We recently released the first book about our bicycle travels… finally! It’s part of a four book series that chronicles our trip around the globe and beyond. The first offering, 1,000 Saturdays| New Zealand, follows the first three and a half months of our life changing adventure. The book includes photos, philosophies, and practical information about bicycling touring and life on the road.
The dark doesn’t chase every rider away when the time changes every fall. When some people hang their wheels up for the year, others keep on pedaling with the help of artificial, portable light.
Wide Eyed World Photography is proud to have been included in the latest 25th anniversary edition of Mountain Bike magazine. Check out page 33 for an image of Chris riding the trails at Curt Gowdy State Park.
