Crossing Pattee

I Have just completed cleaning my cross bike after watching an episode about Glacier Park on PBS. Tonight's ride took me over Pattee Canyon Road and then down Deer Creek road. I finished up coming back into town via the Kim Williams trail. It was only an hour and twenty minute jaunt but all I needed was a relaxing ride.

Coming down Deer creek road was not as relaxing as I would of preferred. I managed to dodge an light blue truck whose driver tried his best to actually run me over and kill me head on. As I ducked under his mirror I could feel his stubborn anger as he pretended to not see me. I don't know, maybe he didn't … maybe he was drunk. This even came after getting flipped off by some young jerk in a jeep.

I survived the drivers but the real danger was whistling down a gravel road abut 45 miles an hour on skinny tires as they skipped across sharp rocks and bedrock peeking out of the roads surface. The last time I tried this I got a flat and just about crashed. My front rim is still dented from that last adventure.

I did make it and once home I ignored my promise to get the car leaned up for its appointment tomorrow. I even ignored my "do not eat past 6" policy as I made up pasta, had chips and salsa, and cearl as well.

So now it is time to retire and look ahead to Wednesday's races. Tomorrow I take the car in and give my money away to the VW mechanics. I really need to get rid of this car.
