Last night was the Missoula Thursday Night Ride and it is quite possible more then a dozen people showed up. I don’t know the exact numbers but we seemed more like a peloton going out to Deer Creek Road then a small band of mountain bikers. It was a quant ride around the Deer Creek Sneak and ended at “Da Bridge”.
I seemed to be having a good day as I rode with this big ol grin on my face. This was due to many possible reasons. Could it be that a recent conversation with “someone” in Seattle was to blame? Or could it be that tomorrow I will embark on a journey that I feel I cant do without visiting the pain cave in a BIG way. Whatever the case today I gathering supplies and courage to do a 80 mile bike and 25 mile wilderness run tomorrow starting at 4:30.
The event is called the MESSS and is the brainchild of my friend Josh. I really don’t know what it stands for but it goes something like Missoula Elk Summit Shit Show … or is it Shit Scramble. Or is it Shit Show? Someone did tell me that there was the word shit in it. Way to much Cold Smoke going around the table last night.
It starts in Missoula and goes over Lolo Pass to Iderhoo, up to Elk Summit all on a bike, and then you run through the wilderness to Blodgett Canyon. Yea! Should be fun. I hope to be providing updates via twitter and Facebook so keep checking.
See you at 4:30 AM…o/o
