I can't believe how long it feels like its been since I've slept in my own bed. Technically, it has been two weeks, but that amount of time feels more like 2 months. I've been in Louisiana shooting our TV show in the cities of Lafayette, Shreveport (with Kenny Wayne Shepherd - him and his family are truly great people), and New Orleans. We were in Lafayette for the super bowl and in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. I wish I had some easily accessible photos to share, but I currently can't find any. Needless to say, our time in Louisiana was crazy. Fun, but crazy.
Rigth now I'm in Los Angeles shooting the Trek and K Swiss team camp. What a change in the group of people we are shooting with. Musicians like to stay up way too late and tend to spend time in smoky clubs. While athletes live a more 'lame' life of being to bed early and eating yogurt with granola. (more my speed I guess)
Regardless of who we're shooting, we're shooting a lot. We've worked plenty of hours (ie; 16-18 hour days) and I'm feeling it. I'm still trying to train and eat right, but nothing compares to being in your groove of training and resting.
I'm here for another few days before I head home and then I head to New Orleans again - for 18 hours - then home again. (Then hopefully a training camp)

2010
It's full steam ahead with Trek - Bontrager!

A self serving of food for my own thought: I realized on my ride today that since the very first time I got on a mountain bike, there truly has not been one single day where I didn't want to ride my mountain bike.

What year is it?
Hello and happy new year!
It's been slow on the blog end, but busy on the life end. (Which seems to make sense I guess) Many fun things have happened over the last month and a half, and it seems we have a few more adventures quickly approaching.
The TV show that I have had the privilege to direct and that Filament is able to be a large part of, Music Voyager, is (and has been) in full swing. Thanks to executive producer, Farook Singh, the show is going to be seen all over the world via NatGeo Music and Adventure, and Nationally on PBS starting in February. It's hard to believe we almost have season 1 in the can, but I guess when you're having fun - time flies. The line-up of season one looks like this: Episodes 101-103 are India, Episodes 104-106 are Jamaica, Episodes 107-109 are collectively the Grammy Artists Special, and Episodes 110-112 are . . . (as of this moment I need to keep it a secret)
Our Grammy episodes have introduced us to some cool people and taken us to some great places.

We are off to Washington, D.C. this weekend to film scenes with Grammy nominated artists, India.Arie and Dobet Gnahore.
In other news:
With all of this travel and general craziness, I have managed to stay in shape and I'm (hopefully) on track for another good season of bike racing. I'll soon have the details worked out for a new contract for 2010. I'll write up a little something regarding that when it's ready. I can't wait to share the news.

It's that time.
After a couple months of less riding, more desserts, and even more time with friends, I'm getting back into action. This is always a funny time of year for me. I look around and see people dreading the indoor trainer and making comments on how everyone else is starting their 'training' WAY too early. I actually do think that 6 hour slug fests in November may be a little too much, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
For me, I love training. I love having goals and I love feeling like I'm hand crafting my upcoming season. I understand that I won't have this motivation forever, but for now this is what I love to do and it's all part of the journey as my roommate and I frequently discuss. Well, it's December and I'm slowly getting into the routine again. Whether it's indoor or outdoor, it feels good to be back on the bike consistantly.
I have a feeling in the near future I will have some exciting news regarding a team for next year. I'll surely be writing a post with an announcement. Until then...
