Hello from a cloudy Missoula where I expect to be all alone on the TNR tonight. I just realized that I uploaded the Sunday photos last night.  You can locate them by clicking on the “photo” tab above.  Check out the videoNEW.

While this man is taking it easy in MOAB.  Is that fair? Ronnie reports in from MOAB, says he might make the Rolling Thunder! He just got done ridding a trail that is top secret! Dave, you know!

My ISP is DigitalBridge Communications at 1942 Birch St, Missoula, MT 59808, 406-542-3444. Last night as with many nights I wanted to make a simple phone call using my Internet phone (cheap, otherwise I would have no phone). The bandwidth was so bad I couldn’t talk to mom.  I tried to chat or email with…

Racing begins at 2:30 and will continue until 7pm with the men’s 1,2,3 at American Legion Field.  Come out and enjoy Montana’s best cyclocross racers.  The Rhino Bar will be on hand to serve beer and wine, and as in year’s past the music will be bumping and the atmosphere will be popping!  Other highlights…

Saturday was race day in Big Sky, Montana. Kicked it off with berry pancakes, and by sunset, I crossed the finish line in 5th place.

It hurts when you have been training for and doing ultra endurance mountain bike events and then turn around and try to go all out in cyclocross races.  I think it is the exact opposite sports.  All I know is it hurts.  Check out Flickaterro! Last night was the 3rd installment of the Missoula Wednesday…

Doing two cross races in one day is brutal.  I have no skin left on one hand and all I have left to show for the weekend is a 5 dollar bill.  And that I had to pull out of a mans ass.  You had to be there.  Mule of the weekend … Erik!

Reflecting on an epic journey: I went through a whirlwind of emotions – bargaining, anger, depression. But then, we came together, rode, and through it, I found healing. Together, we conquered 153.16 miles and 22,648 vertical feet of climbing in 21 hours and 16 minutes. A heartfelt thanks to Sten for always having my bottles…

Hello from City Brew where Sten and I go over last minute details.  Rich and Jim are up on Blue Mountain as I look up there but se no lights.  The sun is coming up and I am going home to pack the support vehicle and get ready for the adventure of 2008. If you…

It’s almost time for the Remember Marcy Vision Quest (RMVQ), and the excitement is palpable. The anticipation is building as participants gear up for this incredible adventure. Here’s a glimpse of what’s in store: The RMVQ is not just a cycling challenge; it’s a test of resilience, camaraderie, and the unyielding spirit of adventure. It’s…

I have been fatigued lately and I wanted to take it easy. I took a few warm up laps and discovered I am way out of practice dismounting my bike and getting back on. No problem, I would just go easy. At the gun I let the entire field go. As I looked up I…

Last night after I posted the last of the RMVQ map details I realized I needed to do laundry and start the cleanup of last weekends race in rainy Phillipsburgh. I have been sick since then and am finally starting to chip away at the chores. So just when I think I am getting caught…

I am broken.  Riding a hill climb in mud is way more demanding than in dry conditions.  Not only that add in a deraileur so muddy it refuses to shift resulting in some missed shifts you get a situation to break things.  My chain broke because of shifting under load (not me … did it…

Hello from City Brew! I am waiting for the sun to go down so I can go night riding.  It is Friday and the weekend starts now.  I am bypassing the usual chores to get a blueberry scone and go night riding.  No one wants to play tonight so I will head out alone.  Tomorrow…

Thanks Fatty! I was feeling like no one feels the way I do and only you can write an light hearted response to USAC’s new changes.  I can only gripe and irritate some of my (former) friends. Well, at least I find out who my MTB friends are. How come MTB(ers) are wussies and cant…
