New story hits mailboxes

My latest story should be arriving in mailboxes any day now. Encompassing a summer's worth of overnight bike rides, or S24Os, it features epic riding, family shenanigans, and a big picture of me and my two boys mountain biking on our super-long, three-seater bike. We call it the Teasdale Train.
The cover is a self-portrait from a solo-overnight on Sheep Mountain, my favorite near-Missoula backcountry ride, with ultralight camping gear this September. Took about ten tries to get the shot right. I'll do another post about that soon, with a few alternate covers we considered from the same shoot.
The cover and opening spread are below. If you'd like to see the entire article, go here.

  1. Aaron, I just read the article the other day and loved it. I've recently been bitten by the s24o bug, and have done some tough grown-up versions over the last year. But your article made me realize that a toned-down version would be a memorable outing with my boys. Thanks for a great read, and for helping me see the obvious there.
