It’s been some time since my last post, but I finally have a new trip to report on. I ventured over to Denver, Colorado for an extended weekend riding two amazing mountains: Vail and Beaver Creek. We were lucky enough to experience some phenomenal conditions, receiving about 11″ of new snow over the three daysContinue reading “Spring Riding in Colorado”

Just wanted to write a quick post to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year! Although 2020 was not ideal in any sense of the word, Olivia and I still managed to experience a ton of new places & things, with the best blessing of all being the valuable time spent together with friendsContinue reading “Happy New Year!”

For Labor Day 2020, Olivia and I spent an extended weekend at Wrightsville Beach with friends and family. I did my best to recap everything and film as much as I could, but I inevitably missed a good percentage of the weekend just relaxing and enjoying the great company. I will do my best toContinue reading “Labor Day Weekend”

It was a fullContinue reading “Father’s Day Weekend”

The second weekend with the new gear is in the books, and I was able to crank out two new videos. The first entry is from a Friday afternoon trip to the local track to play some golf: I ended up playing pretty well besides getting slightly distracted on the back nine (drone might’ve beenContinue reading “Getting Outdoors”

A new dimension has been unlocked. We are now airborne here at TR Travels. Last week, I received my new GoPro Hero8 action cam and DJI Mavic Mini drone. Pretty pleased with my decision. Check out the recap vid from my first weekend w/ the gear: I’m going to keep this post short as IContinue reading “New Tech Toys”

Well…what else can I say? What an unprecedented time to be alive. I never would’ve seen this coming after my last trip to Montreal (last blog post) when the restrictions were just being instituted, but here we are. With all this travel on hold and a bit more time on my hands, I figured IContinue reading “Coronavirus Update”
