Good morning. The weekend is finally here as well as rain, snow, and high winds. Looks like today’s time trial will be a trial. I just realized the slight difference between trail and trial … a trail is a trial of skills! lol!
The trial on the trail this year is finding mountain bike race support. As you know Missoula doesn’t have a mountain bike team. Montana seems to be comprised mostly of road racers. To race in these parts it takes mullah. Gas and long drives to races makes for a costly endeavor. I have been looking for support.
Hammer Nutrition has fallen through as well as all my other prospects. The closest thing I can find is a team up in Kalispell called GREAT NORTHERN CYCLING CLUB. If I lived up there it would be sweet. A cool shop that makes coffee and a team that supports mountain biking. But I live in Missoula, to join would be more of an expense for me.
I can not afford any luxuries so if thing keep progressing as they are I will be Unattached and racing in some cheap Nashbar jersey. No worries, the main goal will still happen, getting to race!
