This summer I carried my 35mm Pentax camera for the occassional shot. I mainly shoot digital but appreciate the look and feel of film in certain situations. I’ve been really slow with finishing rolls so I actually only shot a hand full. I’ve gotten some developed recently and the pictures are a random sampling of different cycles, friends, and traveling from this past summer. These are from the first roll:

(Any film person know where to get Seattle Film Works rolls developed?)

Northern PA. I had just got my 550 on the road (still had the stock bars on it) that morning and took off with Ed for some renegade camping.

Directions to Aaron’s wedding in Ohio taped to my tank. I had some cycle trouble the day the crew left Philly so I spent the night in the shop getting it taken care of and took off the next day. 500+ miles in 2 days with my first night of solo renegade camping.

- Bring CASH WITH YOU

Comment and let us know who will be attending. We’re going unless it’s raining.

Yo kids-

Andrew and I are planning a camping trip for October 15th if anyone is interested. Leaving Saturday morning 10:00 am from One Shot Coffee and riding north with a stop in Pottsville to tour the Yuengling Brewery before heading up to Hickory Run State Park to see the massive boulder fields and camp overnight. Beers and Bonfires. Sunday we will probably roll around the Poconos for a bit before we point the bikes back to Philly.

Interested?

Here is the tentative map

What an awesome ride. Including the ride up and back I did around 750 miles in 3 days all over northeast Pennsylvania. Thanks to Walter from Kickstart cycle Supply for putting on this awesome event. Tons of cool bikes and cool people. Special thanks to Sean and his brother for navigating the first day and to Chris and Matt for sticking with me on the ride back while I sorted out some electrical bugs. Sean’s brother (I feel shitty – totally forgot the dude’s name) had this sweet swingarm shovel that I just fell in love with. So many awesome people – Mike from 47 Industries (cracked his frame and welded it in the diner parking lot! took best roadside repair!), Jd with his longfork shovel that took best of show, Michael of The World is Flat who is taking by far some of the best cycle photos, Chris who rode down from Vancouver only to have his engine blow up as he rolled into Jersey … too many people to mention.

I ended up taking the award for “rolling deathtrap” for having the bike that looks like it should fall apart but does every last mile of the run. I’m honored. GR6 isn’t close enough. Thanks for getting me so stoked on bikes.

all packed.
