I don’t like smokey bars but there I was, last Friday, sitting at a table with friends waiting.  Waiting for something.  Everyone was looking at me. You know, kind of like when someone shows you the ocean for the first time.  Then IT arrived. It was this pile of food, looking good all heaped together.…

All the froggies are whizzing themselves over the latest decision by USA Cycling. First we will do a hostile takeover (USAC taking over NORBA), then we will take away its name (NORBA), and now we will implement our rules (cat system). They say it is the best interest of the sport.  Has anyone noticed that…

Finally posted photos from a week ago.

We started out going up towards Sidewinder and then heading up the ridge as if we were doing Sheep Mountain. I got some pretty decent photos as we topped out. Mike L. and I headed off to do Two Larch and ran into the back of the group as we returned. From there we went…

Greetings from Missoula, Montana, where my toes have finally thawed after last night’s chilly adventure with my friend Garland. The sun’s shining today, and I’m gearing up for a ride with the Thursday Night Ride (TNR) crew. “Our adventure through the deep, dark woods, on long trails where one could easily vanish, battled against the…

I picked up Marcy’s ashes today, dont quite know what to do at this point.

I ventured to Mackay for the White Knob Challenge Mountain Bike Race, an experience I’ll cherish forever and plan to repeat. It was an incredible weekend filled with camping, racing, and unforgettable rides. The photos are a testament to the adventure! I deeply miss Marcy, the circuit’s queen. Soon, I’ll be picking up her ashes,…

I just heard a rumor of a 24 hour race that includes the Sheep Mountain Loop. It will be called Counting the Sheep I believe.  I for one am as excited as all of you granny gear mashing freaks.  I cant wait.

Last night I abandon the TNR and picked up some comfort food. Self destruction at its finest.  Larry D stopped by to add to the carnage.

Good … day … where did morning go? I seem to lose time and space lately.  Along with no motivation I find that my memory is shot.  I cant remember names or what I just did. I am glossed over and in auto pilot. I think it is like a movie that you take certain…

Keep an eye out for this bike!  Here is the message from Julie H. Be on the look out for a silver Specialized Expert Mountain Bike. It was stolen yesterday from our garage sometime between 10am and 9pm. We have another report of a stolen bike from a garage on Hastings street in our neighborhood…

Hello from City Brew where I am feeling very alone in this western town that suddenly seems foreign to me. Today is hike day to recover from the weekend but where do I hike? Even more scary is the fact that I have not hiked alone in over 10 years. My hiking buddy has always…

Marcy has died! At the Butte race she fell onto some stairs from above at the lodge we were hanging out in. I knew immediately something was wrong even though she walked a bit. Everyone at the lodge called frantically on the phone to find a vet but every one in Butte was gone for…

If Roland of Gilliad were here he would say, “Come come comalla! Come on down to the halla!  And do 8 hours of labah!” It’s at the clearing at the end of the path, say true. Tomorraw at 10 of the clock in the Bethany of Butte.  Say true! Say true! The mule in black…
