Hi! Brion O'Connor here. I'm a writer and editor, specializing in outdoor, sports and travel topics. In short, a pen and an imagination for hire, with an eye toward adventure. This site features a searchable database of my published works. Feel free to browse. To get in touch, zip me a note at info@InspiredInk.com, or call 978-468-6003.

Comments: The United States hockey team's stunning upset of the seemingly invincible Soviet Union at the 1980 Olympic Games was one of the seminal moments in sports.

All 'crossed up
Comments: This recap of my first attempt at cyclocross, a crazy mix of mountain bike and traditional road racing - not to mention soaring heart rates and endorphin-induced euphoria - first appeared in Outdoor Explorer magazine.

The Drive
Comments: There are few things I enjoy more than an untracked mantle of new-fallen snow on my favorite trails under a crystal winter sky. Except, maybe, the absolute relief of arriving at my slope-side accommodations after a hair-raising ride. Yes, if you're going to ski, you have to learn to respect "The Drive."

Ledge Dance
Comments: With a younger brother for a rock hound, it was only a matter of time before I tried sport climbing. This first person feature appeared in AMC Outdoors magazine, the member magazine of the Appalachian Mountain Club.

Knobby All Night
Comments: Drawn by the alluring tales of 24-hour mountain bike racing, I sign up for the inaugural 24 Hours of New England. And survive. Barely.
