It's cold and I would love to ride my bike on a fun obstacle right now. This got me thinking about looking at some old photos from the glory days of no work and all play. All of these photos are from Steve Buddendeck. He has been a friend since I was 15 years old and is responsible for my sponsorship with DK. I need to go visit him to gather the many more images he has of me riding bikes. What and who would I be without ever having a bike and opportunity to do these things?

options=freedom

This was a few years back in Costa Rica with Ed and Ed's Uncle Cliff. Ed moved to Miami and I went with him. In route, we learned that Uncle Cliff was taking us to Costa Rica. We had true freedom at that moment because we had all the options in the world. We went to surf, laugh, and enjoy a cup of coffee or two. It was a great trip that changed my life. Thanks Cliff and Ed for the option and in turn the freedom.
