September was a month of pedal-pushing adventures and goofy fun, kicking off with a memorable MTB ride at Como with my best buddy, Chad from Red Barn Bicycles in Hamilton, Montana. There’s something about the crisp air and the rugged trails there that sets the perfect stage for MTB thrills.
Next up was Disco Bike Park with Mo – a place that’s as fun as it sounds. Imagine whizzing down trails with the sun peeking through the trees, the sound of our bikes mingling with the natural symphony of the outdoors. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you.
The highlight, though, had to be the weekend in Whitefish at the Bike Park. Calling it my favorite doesn’t do it justice. It’s a paradise for bikers – trails of every kind, from the adrenaline-pumping to the serene, surrounded by stunning scenery that looks like it’s been lifted from a postcard.
In between these escapades, Mo and I found time to explore closer to home, discovering the beauty of blanket flowers. These little bursts of color dotting the landscape were a reminder of nature’s simple pleasures.
The epic rides to Snowbowl were something else. There’s a sense of achievement when you conquer those trails, a mix of endurance and thrill that’s hard to replicate elsewhere.
Kellogg Bike Park (Silver Mountain) was another standout, where eating FroMo (or was it FroYo?) and doing downhill runs became our routine. Imagine the rush of downhill biking combined with the sweet taste of frozen treats – it’s an unbeatable combo.
Finally, back in Missoula, the goofing around never stopped. Whether it was impromptu races down neighborhood streets or simply chilling in the backyard, these moments added a light-hearted balance to the high-octane adventures of the month.
