What a summer.
Between the dust, the caffeine, and the thousands of miles in Nacho the Van, I spent the past few months chasing bikes either with a camera in hand, a coffee kettle on the boil, or sometimes both. From the high desert of Bend to the red dirt of Arizona to the breezy Oregon Coast, I served up pourovers and snapped photos at more than 20 cycling events across the West.
This past weekend, I traded Nacho the Van for a sketchy motel. I shot two races in eastern Oregon — one XC mountain bike, the other a mud-soaked gravel sufferfest.
Thousands of photos, derailleur-wrecking mud, relentless wind, and more sheep than racers. It was gritty, cold, and perfect. This is what I love — chasing moments that tell the full story.
No glamour, just adventure. Sketchy motels and all.
When I started Loam Coffee in 2015, I was only focused on roasting and selling bags of coffee. That was it. But things change. Businesses grow and evolve over time. Loam Coffee is going through an evolution right now.
Coffee. Photography. Why not bring them together?
