Biking with Cynthia and Marc
Posted on May 18, 2009 by Martin Wiesiolek
Marc (click to enlarge)
All around where I live are great bike trails. I lack the motivation sometimes to get out on my own to bike (never enough time) so I am thankful when Marc and Cynthia get me out to bike with them. The trails are fantastic and Marc teaches me some [...]

My friend Ryan and I went to Home Depot on Monday to pick up some parts for building an adaptive seat for our rafts. On our way out I suggested that we stop by Petsmart on the other side of the parking area. So we went in. I walked to [...]

The strangled alien. Presented by Jim.
Posted on April 24, 2009 by Martin Wiesiolek
Actually, it is my dry top I use on the river after replacing the neck gasket. When we were paddling the Roaring Fork river near Aspen last season I almost lost it after being slowly choked to death by the neck gasket of my dry top. At some point I asked Jim just [...]

Posted on March 18, 2009 by Martin Wiesiolek
The ski season is practically over and my dear friend Paul has left me with a few deep thoughts to contemplate over the summer. For those who don’t know Paul, here is a brief introduction. Paul is a professional skier, which means that he spends his winters giving other people an incomprehensible series of explanations [...]

We Are Moving
Posted on February 19, 2009 by Martin Wiesiolek
No, we are not moving to another location but moving our bodies.
Last fall I was thinking about ways to enhance our ski and snowboard program at Colorado Discover Ability. While our snowsports school needs a lot of enhancements that require people and money, there are some things we can do on a shoe-string budget [...]

End-of-season party turns into a birthday party
Posted on November 17, 2008 by Martin Wiesiolek
November 16, 2008
It was supposed to be our end-of-season party but it turned out to be my birthday party. A birthday is often my time for reflection when I remember and think about those aspects of life which need improvement and repentance. Not this time. It was a happy, light and a really [...]

A friend recently asked me to see few photos of [...]

Just vote, damn it!
Posted on September 22, 2008 by Martin Wiesiolek
Just Vote
For crying out loud, just vote! Our souls are dying in two forgotten wars, our possible future President believes that the Earth is about 10,000 years old, our economy has tanked and our foreign policy puts me to shame. I am taxed to death and while my tax dollars go toward corporate [...]

Wild Horses

Mustangs at the North Soda area of the Little Book Cliffs (click to enlarge)
There is something very special about wild horses and it’s difficult to verbalize this feeling. I’ve seen many horses before but only the mustangs provide me with a shiver of excitement as if I was on a Safari in Africa. [...]

Adrienne called earlier and said “Let’s go see owls, I know where three of them live near us.” So we went for a short walk on the trail by the Connected Lakes near where I live. [...]

Westwater Canyon from Above
Posted on May 11, 2008 by Martin Wiesiolek
I planned on working today. Trish called me in the morning and said “let’s go biking.” She saved my brain!
For some time now I wanted to explore the Westwater Canyon and reach the rim of the canyon where you can look down at Colorado River. I made many trips through [...]
