The July issue of Bike magazine has just dropped and it looks like they’ve given us the cover in addition to the feature story Andrew Findlay (writer) and I gathered during our wild trip to Guatemala in January (see blog post, “Guatemala: a-diversion-from-winter”). The cover is a different breed of toning I applied to the image that I normally do, but it seemed to work with the environment, and seemingly the photo editor at Bike magazine.
This post is a little dated, my apologies. In January, I did something I never do, and that is ride my bike…in Guatemala of all places. Shooting for Bike magazine, I joined Vancouver Island writer Andrew Findlay, and together we joined Matt Hartell and his co-pilot Luisa for a trip around Guatemala riding. Most of the riding was on (some ancient) Mayan foot paths that Matt has pieced together into flowing trails, something that has taken a lot of exploration and work. From riding down to Lake Atitlan rimmed with volcanoes on limestone foot steps, to eating mystery meat on dirt floors with a family in the remote village of Chortiz, it was a wild experience.
