Greetings from my Missoula, Montana apartment, where sleep eludes me again. It’s odd; after struggling to sleep until 3 AM last night, you’d think exhaustion would win tonight. Yet, here I am, wide awake, no naps, but no drowsiness. Physically, I’m at my peak, ready for the state championships with a resting heart rate better than ever.
In this solitude, wondering about the whereabouts of my friends and my recent loneliness, I’ve decided to share some photos. Click here to see the new set from the Western Montana Hill Climb Championships held annually in Pattee Canyon. The race is a four-mile ascent, climbing 840 feet along Pattee Canyon Drive, starting from Takima corner.
I’ve participated twice, the first time three years ago, and missed another year due to a neck injury. My mountain bike schedule might jeopardize this year’s entry.
