I've just gotta' say…

C.W. Nevius at SFGate:

Thursday in the Alps a guy with a bum hip proved everyone wrong, including himself, with a wild chance that had no reason to succeed, and yet did beyond his wildest dreams. Over the next week he may win the Tour and then go straight to a hospital to have his hip removed and replaced with an apparatus made of space age material and incredible technology. Then he will attempt to ride in the Tour again.

That’s bike racing.

I’ll say!

About

I started this blog back in 2002 or so for several reasons, including the following:

To archive and display photography from my outdoor adventures – mostly in California, but also in Alaska, The Yukon, and British Columbia. (These days my main photography web site is G Dan Mitchell Photography.)
To share stories from my hiking, backpacking, skiing and other trips.
To post and save links to interesting stories on the outdoors, the environment, and related topics.
To publish some information that I think might be useful to others, including my gear list (Equipage) and some trail guides (Trails) and trip descriptions.

NOTE:

This site is no longer actively maintained, though it is monitored. My “Dan’s Outside” website was very active some years ago, but I eventually transferred much of my online material to my photography website at http://www.gdanmitchell.com/.

For now the material on this site remains for archival purposes only. Eventually it may be removed.

Thanks,

G Dan Mitchell
