Oh man, I’ve gotta share how Marcy’s summer’s been going. She’s been tagging along to almost all the events, camping like a champ—probably more than most dogs could dream of. But, you know, I think she’d be over the moon if she could just run wild, feeling the breeze in her fur like I do during my races. Poor thing doesn’t get the freedom she deserves… Yet, that photo of her, absolutely love it. Okay, brace yourselves, ’cause I’m about to dive into the “8 hours of labor.”
And before you jump to conclusions, nope, I’m not actually clocking in to work. The “8 Hours of Labor” is this killer endurance mountain bike race happening in Butte, Montana this weekend. My head’s spinning with excitement, racing against time before winter makes its entrance.
But hey, that’s not all on my radar. The Mule Terra Vision Quest is just around the corner, in three weeks to be exact. It’s about time I rally the troops, calling out for volunteers and daredevils willing to take on this epic adventure. It’s gonna be one heck of a ride.
This weekend marks a milestone for me—getting back to my 24-hour solo endurance glory days. After a year of ups and downs, like totally bombing the Galena Grinder and facing setbacks in the Butte 100, I’m set on just cruising and actually enjoying the ride this time. I’m betting it all on Carbo Rocket, hoping it lives up to its rep as the nectar of the gods.
So, who’s in for this weekend? Who’s up for the vision quest? Let’s hit the trails! I’m off to grab some essentials—more meat, campfire gear, opting for a lawn chair this time… Hmm, what am I forgetting?
Feels like the clock’s ticking louder than ever with so much to get pumped about before the snow hits. Let’s make every moment count!
