Hello from a sunny and FINALLY warm Missoula Montana. I am sitting in my car outside work making some hard decisions. I have slipped from economic recovery in my world to slip sliding back down the slopes of homelessness.  Isn’t it one thing after the other?

Its not the end of the world because there are others who suffer worse than me. I just have to tighten up the buckle some more and suspend all activities that cost even the slightest bit of cash.

I still have enough resources to train for about two more weeks and by then I hope to maybe be able be close enough to the worlds to just coast on in. Not what I really wanted to happen.

So I am stuck in the best place on the planet if you have a mountain bike
