Beartooth Pass Bike Fish Attempt
ts that time of year again, when the snow plows are working their way up and over Beartooth Pass, attempting to remove feet of snow before the onslaught of tourists . Until it's clear, the road remains closed to vehicle traffic, leaving bicyclist free reign...kind of.

Shed Hunting
Maybe its the fact that I used to hike as part of my job, or that we have some excellent mountain biking trails around Cody that have been rideable all winter, but I rarely grab my hiking boots when going on a weekend adventure. I guess hiking just isn't my favorite form of travel. I almost always prefer two wheels. The exception is when there is a tangible goal, e.g. hunting or fishing. Although hunting season is long gone, spring offers another reason to be out there: horn hunting.
Taking a Chance
Late last month, while visiting one of my favorite bike culture blogs, I came across an opportunity. Blackburn, the venerable bike touring accessory manufacturer, hires six "Blackburn Rangers" to ride a bike from Canada to Mexico. Along the way, the Rangers test and report on new gear, and create social media buzz about the trip. A journey like this has always appealed to me, but I want to add a fishy twist...I propose riding the Pacific Coast bike route, from Vancouver, BC to the Mexican border, while hauling rod, reel, waders and boots in order to fly fish for steelhead along the way.
