Read This While I Do Some Things I Need to Do
Hi there.
I’m taking this week off from blogging so I can take care of some blog-related stuff. Specifically, I need to take care of some logistical and tactical 100 Miles of Nowhere stuff.
And also, I need to write a story I promised I would write for Ride 3 (I’m not going to finish it by when I said I’d finish it, but I don’t want to bail on the responsibility altogether).
I know, I know. It’s a long time, but I need all of it.
Luckily for you, a story I wrote for Mountain Flyer was just published in their Issue #45. It’s called “Holy Trinity.” And here’s what the opening two-page spread looks like:
It’s a twelve-page, beautifully-photographed feature about how about this time last year, Yuri Hauswald, Kenny Jones, and I rode all three of the St. George mesas in one amazing three-day weekend.
I’m very proud of the story and astonished at the amazing photographic work the incredible Scott Markewitz did for it. This article is available only in the print version of the magazine, so allow me to recommend you go pick yourself up a copy.
Or three.

Note to self: put riding in Utah on bucket list. Definitely.

How ’bout 2016 at Fattys Skill Camp (still only an idea of his) but I have my deposit ready.

@Leroy – you have no idea! I’ve only ridden Moab but, EPIC is only the intro…

However…Moab (specifically the Slickrock trail) in July is something to behold…as in ‘I was afraid I might DIE’ before I could find my way back to the parking lot and more water. Other than that, it was AWESOME!

I reached out to Mountain Flyer to find out:
1. If I could buy this issue direct from them
2. Where I could find an issue near me
3. If subscribing now would get me this issue
The email that I sent bounced from all three of the email addresses on their Contact page.
Most likely, the demand from Friends of Fatty has thrashed their email server!
Seriously, any thoughts on how to reach them/get an issue?

We could get one copy and mail it around. An old fashioned family ’round robin’ from mother’s generation.

I got a 7 day free trial subscription to the app that has the full magazine. The photos are outstanding & I’d love to read about how they get the shots. It sounds like it was an epic weekend.

I must say you’re following very creative way indeed to keep yourself busy. I like biking a lot and this type of post very inspires me.
