My first backpacking ride … or race … or effort. Whatever. Anyway, it is next weekend. My mind still has not come up with a label. But things without labels shouldn’t stop me from preparing. This weekend I am waking up early. Not to quantify next week’s effort. No. But to prepare the body. So…

The sun’s rise over the Bridger Range was, once again, a sight to behold. The wildfire smoke added a dramatic flair, just like yesterday as I drove to work. While I’m not fond of the smoke, it’s been particularly distracting lately. Upon arriving at work, I learned I need to move my desk by the…

The wildfires make it possible for a simple sunrise, although exciting in of itself, more dramatic. Driving home this morning was sort of surreal. So I tempted to grab my camera and while on the fly take some shots.  The result … is blury. But you get the jest. So it is another week of…

Spending time with Mo in Missoula I have come to the realization that no matter where we are there is going to be some dirt bike frolicking.  Followed by some sort of adult beverage and a pizza or burger. Life cant get any better … right?

Another drive to Missoula last night…o/o Varoom! Thinking back to a bike ride that I did in the Pipestone area. We went off the trail and along a beach.  I was wishing I had my fatty.  At the end of Lake Delmo, we adventured even further but eventually decided to go back to the beaten…

Wednesday nights at the Round House Sports Center people gather to be portaged to a local destination for mountain bike goodness. Even though I should be resting after the Butte 100 I decided to ride down and partake in the Wednesday night ride. Even though I re-rode some of the Butte 100 course the day…

As a special treat this blog post will include ACTUAL photos of the Butte 100. And to pull this off I decided, not a good decision really, to ride the course again the next day. I stopped a few times and asked a ninja rider if I could get a photo of her riding the…

After a race, I feel bad for a couple weeks. But really, I don’t feel bad in that way. I think I have a sinus infection. In fact, if I didn’t have that, I would be back in the flow and feeling rad.

Well, I tried to get back into it. I had left the stream to pool in an eddy for a while and just do my thing. But we must all get back in the flow and take part. But not yet. I feel sick, so I am just going to hang out and watch the…

Why all the creek images? Because I am adventuring today number one. And number two I have this backlog of images I want to share.

I would say that today I am just relaxing and not getting involved in the race. I am just floating on. To see what it is like.

On this day Going to the Butte 100 today. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

What does the title visitors have to do with a waterfall? Well … nothing. Visitors mean I am busy, too busy to blog. So enjoy a photo of a place that my visitors love to enjoy as “the swimming hole”.
