Hey, folks! Bill here, ready to share my biking plans and a few adventures from the saddle. Today’s plan is to hit the trail and ride out to Lolo Pass, venturing into Idaho as far as these legs can pedal me. I’ve got my trusty camera gear with me because you never know when a photo-worthy moment might pop up.
I’ll be kicking off from Missoula around 9ish, aiming to get on the bike by 10AM. My starting point will be the Lee Creek campground just past Lolo Hot Springs. Unfortunately, Marcy is sitting this one out; I don’t expect to be on the road for more than 5 hours, and I’ll be covering around 50 miles in total. My legs are feeling a bit worn out after a week of road biking, so that’s my sweet spot for today.
Yesterday, I ventured out towards Frenchtown, but boy, the winds were giving me a hard time. The terrain was flat, but I was riding under my training heart rate to give these legs some well-deserved recovery time. Managed to squeeze in about 18 miles β not a lot, but it did the trick for a recovery ride.
Now, I’m looking forward to the weekend, and if you don’t hear from me by the end of Monday, well, send out the state troops on ol’ Route 12 because I might be hitching a ride on a logging truck. Just kidding, but you never know where these adventures take us!
And for those curious about the stats, here’s a quick look at my biking log:
- Miles This Month: 118.78
- Miles This Year: 354.85
- Climb This Month: 8,445.06 ft
- Climb This Year: 10,936.06 ft
