Look at Dan

Hey guys. I gotta apologize for the lack of posts lately. There has been a lot goin on recently and as a result, blogging has taken a back seat to real life. I'll have a bunch of updates soon, but for now look at these photos I took of Dan riding an All-City Macho Man Disc and a Trek District. 

We needed some images for some upcoming projects at North Central Cyclery, so Dan and I went out one morning before work to cruise around the NIU campus and do some shootin'. I think a few of them turned out pretty well. One of the photos can be seen currently on a giant banner outside the shop.

Bike "Camping"

A couple weeks ago, we rode bikes out to a local preserve and went "camping". I use the quotations because in my mind, sleeping outdoors overnight is a key component of camping, and I for one did not spend the night. I had work the next morning and figured it would be easier to just ride back home late at night. I still had a great time however, and it felt like actual camping.

We eventually got a fire going and roasted some potatoes and veggies along with some wild asparagus that we found in the woods. There was also garlic toast, s'mores, and a variety of other camp treats being prepared. There's something about cooking food over an open fire that just makes it taste better than anything.

Our campsite was under a canopy of pine trees and the ground was covered in a blanket soft pine needles. The weather was perfect and the sky was clear and star-filled. It was an excellent night indeed. Camping season is upon us and I hope to really take advantage of it this year.
