This dream has been in the works for about a year. It almost went off the rails and didn’t. It’s something we’ve never done before and hey… who knows how it will go! It’s happening though. Andrea and I are set to go on an extended road trip. Look out world! Well… look out U.S.A. […]

2015 CONTACT Photography Festival
I mentioned an exciting upcoming event a couple of times, saying that I’d provide an update when it was officially announced. Well it is now official. Peter Kraiker Photography is presenting an exhibit of 18 framed limited edition photographs, all of them directly in the cross-hairs of my two passions. Photography and Cycling. I’ve called […]
Heading Back To The Office
Well… I did it. I said yes to another IT contract. When I wrapped up the last one back in March I mentioned that I didn’t have any fixed plan but would consider coming back in the fall. One of the people I was working with reached out to see if I was interested, we […]

Moab Video(s) Part 3 – Mag 7 and Slickrock
I had so much fun stuff from these two amazing rides that I couldn’t edit it all down to 10 minutes. So… I made a 10 minute video of each. If you only watch one of the 4 videos from Moab then I’d pick Slickrock. Amazing place, amazing riding, and I’m amazed that I rode […]
Moab Trilogy Book 3: The Trip Back to Toronto
When I was trying to decide how to write this final book of the trilogy, I started by thinking that it would be the least interesting to readers. It’s certainly just as full of adventure as the previous two books, in different ways though. So I’ll just keep writing and you can make of it […]
Back to Covering Bike Races
This weekend had back-to-back races and I was able to get out to them both and shoot my first events of 2014. I’ll start by saying it feels great to be back. Got to see lots of people I haven’t seen in a while, get caught up a little, and practice my “art”. And it […]
Fireworks
This being the first “summer” long weekend it’s been a classic weekend for fireworks, camping, and escape from hibernation… ” May two-four” (not because cases of beer come by the 24 as some people seem to think!). Sitting here listening to fireworks brings a handful of thoughts to mind so I’ll just rattle them off […]
Moab Book 2: Being There
I feel like like I skipped over so many things along the way to summarizing the first part of the trip… how the weather was (soooo much better than it had been when I left TO), what it felt like to be on the road (and on the road alone)… I am really getting to […]
