On This Day in Bill’s History

Mr. Bear here! Looking through Bill’s blog archives, I found these entries from March 10 across the years. Seems like our friend’s been documenting his two-wheeled adventures for quite a while!

2024: Stars, Dreams, Shit Happens – Oh, I definitely knew I’d smacked right into that rock. The moment of truth came when the back tire went all wobbly on me. “Seriously?” I groaned, throwing a glance upwards as if expecting some cosmic sympathy.

2023: Schooner – Are you looking for a cozy and delicious dining experience? Look no further than The Schooner Restaurant & Lounge! I enjoyed their famous chowder, paired perfectly with a refreshing IPA.

2017: Assumptions – We tried to get farther but the rear differential went out and we had no traction. We could get more stuck then we were so we got turned around and found a good place to park. It would have to be bike-packing from here.

2016: WNA 34 Rollin Fatties @ Little Bear – Last night was the 34th installment of our Wednesday Night Adventure Series. We had the average group size of 2 and getting to the launch site proved to be a little challenging.

2015: Yellowstone on my own – Last July I was exploring Yellowstone Park on my bike…

2014: JayP Backyard Fat Pursuit Part 3 – I was finally at the West Yellowstone checkpoint. I had been at it for 14 hours and it was a welcome thing to be indoors and get warm.

2012: Jenga Jihad and Bozeman Backroads – Okay, confess. Who else’s childhood involved precariously balanced towers of playing cards, mismatched Legos, and anything else vaguely rectangular?

2011: 3 deer and a monkey – I really don’t know what drives me to go harder when my entire biology says that I am about to die. But I do. I was climbing up Pattee Canyon in my large ring, two clicks down in the back.

2010: Peace – This is part 15 in a series of blog posts that I am dedication to my favorite photos of 2009. Could I use a little Peace today.

2009: Got Action Wipes – A couple weeks ago I was listening to the FredCast Podcast and herd an interview that David B had with Martha Van Inwegen, creator of Action Wipes.

2008: Lolo Pass Ride – There is a lot of snow in the passes, but nonetheless, yesterday’s weather made the runoff-covered roads not so bad as a select group of friends and myself rode from Lolo to the Pass, 33 miles uphill.

2006: New Application At Work – At MARS Stout Inc, I’m the one-man army behind our web services, ensuring everything from servers to PHP and MySQL runs smoothly.

2004: Shut Down Will Be Sudden – My site to buy pictures is coming along nicely. I have finished a production run of the Spring Flowers Print.

2002: Supply Ponds MTB – Today was definitely one for the books, kind of like an “Indiana Jones” escapade but with less snakes and more mechanical betrayals.

Looks like March 10th has been quite the day for adventures over the years! Flat tires, mountain passes, and the occasional Jenga game… Bill’s been keeping busy.
