On Saturday Zephanie B joined me to hit all the trails in the Pattee Canyon area just a couple miles up the road from my apartment. Click on images for larger view. First order of business was to check out University Mountain and we handled that pretty quickly.
Next we bombed down the ridge and went up Sentinel to see some hand gliders prepare for take off.
The rest of the day we spent exploring new routes towards the Miller Creek Drainage. At the end we finished with a big run down the Sammy B. Saturday my totals were55 miles in 5.5 hours and 9,000 feet of climbing. Did mostly in zone 3 on the climbs and zone 2 when things flattened out (very rare).
Sunday was a little more serious and I had to practice my solo pace with pit stops. I made up a course called the Jumbo Juggernaut (http://tiny.cc/bdTsE). A 15.5 mile loop with almost 3,000 feet of climbing. It was freaking hot as for the first time Missoula got into the 80s. I definitely mis judged how much water to carry per lap and by the third lap I was dragging my tongue. Some of the Bozone crew showed up to ride some of it with me and Zephanie came back for more punishment. Ended up finishing the day with 61.5 miles in just over 6 hours and 12,100 feet of climbing. And that ends my account of last weekend. Oh yea, then there was Happy Hour at the Bridge Pizza after
