Ah, greetings from Missoula, Montana, where the sun has decided to grace us with its presence, albeit a tad shyly. Despite the thermometer flirting with the thirties, it seems we’ve got a snowstorm rolling in to spice up the weekend. So, there’s a solid chance my plans to hit the road for a race might get snowed out—again. It’s like Mother Nature herself is plotting against my cycling calendar, having already thrown a wrench in the works for some high school sports that are usually in full swing by now.
Last evening, instead of painting the town red, I opted for a cozy night in. The agenda? Some R&R and tinkering with a new cleat position. Gotta say, it’s not every day you find joy in adjusting bike cleats, but here we are. Managed to sneak in a bit of extra prep on my race beast, gearing up for what I hope will be a smashing time at the Devil’s Slide in Lewiston, Idaho, next weekend. Fingers crossed the weather gods are on our side this time.
Oh, and speaking of good times, tonight’s the shindig over at Missoula Bike Works. We’re bringing our TNR (Tuesday Night Ride) crew there. How about it? Fancy joining a bunch of bike enthusiasts for an evening of tales and trails? Come on, it’ll be fun!
Speedwagon Classic Next
Matt Seeley in Polson, MT, is hosting the inaugural Speedwagon Classic Bike Race this Saturday at 10 AM, and I strongly encourage everyone to participate and enjoy themselves. He promises it will be a memorable ride, and best of all, it’s free! Racing without a fee – that’s exactly what I’m excited about. Below are the details and the map.
The race begins at 10 AM, with a barbecue to follow at 5 PM.
