Yesterday's Ride

Yesterday, I went for a road ride out to Turah and back. Initially, I had planned to go to Clinton and back, but as I rolled out of town, I realized I might cut the ride short from my previous plan of 3 hours to 2 or even 1. My CamelBak nozzle accidentally got exposed and froze solid, so I figured I’d go home and get on the rollers.

As I left Bonner and Milltown, I decided to try that road called ‘Rustic Road.’ I was pleasantly surprised to find that it looped back under the Interstate at Turah. Cool, a new shorter loop (possible multi-loop on a sparsely traveled road)!

As I rode under the interstate at around mile 12.1, it looked like it was going to snow a little. As I approached East Missoula, I found myself in a full blizzard. I rode home in a complete whiteout and arrived as the snow started to pile up.

Here we go again with the snow! And I was psyched to get back out on the bike. I’m thankful that I have other outlets like running and skiing; maybe I’ll try out Pattee Canyon this week. I just noticed Missoula Nordic has posted the race calendar. Let’s race!
