Kings Beach Rollercoaster 2018~Saturday, June 2
After taking taking a year off, the Kings Beach Roller Coaster is back! I hesitate to say “new and improved” out of not wanting to downplay how good this event has been in the past, however, for 2018 we are adding over 1000′ of vert to the approximately half marathon course, as well as finish […]
Silver State 50 Mile DNF ~ Listening to the Body
The best advice I have ever received by a doctor, my 20+ year Chiropractor/Healer Dr. Nathan Cohen in Tahoe City, is “Listen to your body.” This was his response to my questioning if I should take off any time off from riding the mountains after dislocating my knee after getting tangled up with a tree […]

We finally succeeded on our third attempt in a little under 61 […]

February Recipe of the Month ~ Vegan Curried Butternut Squash Soup with Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
As a Chef who has almost always just cooks by feel, I have no recipes of my own written down. So every time I write the ROM, I have the pleasure of preparing and refining my dishes to how I personally like them and now having an archive of these recipes. As I type this, […]
Moose Goo ~ January Recipe of the Month
My wife and I learned this tasty recipe when gifted some much needed extra calories while hiking the John Muir Trail a few years back. This is a great alternative to gels and energy bars, providing plenty of carbs(simple and complex) and protein/fat for your longer outings! You can make this recipe in whatever quantity […]
