About me

I'm the site manager and editor of PikesPeakSports.us, the digital stomping ground for the outdoor community.
I've lived in the area since 1967, back in the day when our family milked cows for a living on a dairy farm near Calhan.
Graduated from the University of Southern Colorado (now Colorado State-Pueblo) in 1982. Worked at The Gazette for many years, first as a sports writer, then helped launch the Gazette's citizen journalism and social media projects.
I've written a lot of words and I loved and fretted over all of them.
I'm fascinated by the online world we live in, social media and the changes that are sure to come.
I'm low maintenance. Just give me my drawing stuff and painting easel, brushes and oils, my fly-fishing rod, mountain bike, trail-running shoes, Tom Petty on the iPod, a piece of dirt for my garden, my guitar, my beautiful wife and daughter, and a good cup of coffee ... you'll get no trouble out of me.

Hey Tim... good to see you this morning, even if it was a quick pass by around the lake.  The Turkey Trot Predict was a lot of fun..   Have a good weekend.

Hey Tim..  hope the summer has been great.  My mind has been wandering towards the upcoming ski season.  Any chance you'll have promotions/contests for Monarch Mountain again this year? 

Thanks!

Jeff

hey  tim:

wanted to say thanks for keeping me up to date on all the things I care about in the PP region. Really enjoyed the marathon stuff, especially matt carpenter's comments. This is a great site and your interest in these subjects makes it stronger. Pretty cool.

Hi Tim,

 

Thanks for the information.  My Son and I ran with the UVC on Monday it was a beautiful route and the weather was great!  I also just recently started going to Joe's Boot Camp for Women and I love it:)!  Have a blessed day.

I'll probably go with GotG to start as it is predictable, but I will definitely look into Cheyenne Mountain State Park.  Any ideas on how to get around the $7 parking fee?

Tim,

 

Thanks for the info.  I have run on the greenway several times, but I was hoping for a little more terrain variation.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks again,

Pete

Hi Tim, just wanted to say thanks for your message and wishing me well.  My best races are yet to come this year once I get healed up!!  I might come watch the finish of BTMR this Sunday.  It is just so hard to stand there at the finish and watch all of the competitors come in and finish when you have to be out of the action.  It just kills you inside!!!!!!!!!!   I am going to do the Alex Hoag 5k this Saturday because I am dying to race!!!!!!!!!! and i dont think the 5k will do any harm to me and see how my knee feels.   As I have been all year - I am posting all of my race results, thoughts, and notes on how I am feeling in my-2011 race log on my page.   As I stated under my Summer Roundup results- I have made a decision not to race Barr Trail Mountain Race on Sunday  : - (   as much as it kills me, I think its what is best for me right now.  Stay in touch and talk to you soon.

Thank you so much again for wishing me well.  Talk soon.
