Polson Tomorrow
Good night in Missoula Montana. I wonder if tomorrow’s race will go off. It is the rescheduled one that got canceled three weeks ago, the Speedwagon Classic in Polson. Tonight I got snowed on while I was hiking. I am getting nervous that the race will be snowed out again. The temperature in the morning…

Thursday Night Group Rides Again
Just got back from a ride in the Rattlesnake Recreation Area and brought back some video footage. Post-work, I biked up the Kim Williams Trail, crossed over to Marshall Grade, then rode over Mount Jumbo Saddle to meet friends for tonight’s ride. Here’s my route. We tackled the Mandatory Single Track, but it was snowy…

Where Have All The Flowers Gone?
Still under the snow … every one! Hello from cold, rainy, snowy, windy, crappy, and miserable Missoula Montana. You know what? I am getting sick of cleaning bikes. It seems that by the time I have cleaned the bike after the ride and washed all the muddy clothes, I just fall into bed around 11…

In The News
Looks like my name has popped up in the Montana Kaimi, a paper published by the students of The University of Montana, Missoula. The peice by Hugh Carey is short but sweet (due to my awesome time) … “Nearly one hundred racers from around the nation, many from Missoula, participated in the GrizzlyMan Adventure race…

More Grizzlyman Coverage
New West Net just posted a photo and some incorrect details. Oh well, at least one publication caught wind of this Missoula Race. My feeling that this may not catch on, what is wrong with Missoula media? This is an outdoor town … isn’t it? Hugh Carey was there with his camera! He has posted…

Grizzlyman Adventure Race
A gallery put up by Kenneth Clizbe! I am in one photo (#21) and after that I actually finished the race before the guy got up to Pattee Canyon to take photos at the transition area. That is what you get for traveling so fast. No cool photos … seriously though, these are a great…

Is Hypothermia Recovering?
Hello from bedtime. I went on a recovery mission today and on the way back just about freaking froze to death. I shivered so violently I almost crashed. If I would of only dressed up I would of enjoyed the outing. Can anyone guess where this is? Can you believe I won the Grizzlyman Yesterday?…

Missed Opportunity
Today’s Thoughts: A big hello to GT who the TNR meet on the Treasure Ride last night. I say it is time for Sam or Andy (will he be there?) to take the Otter … I mean Levi took the Tour of Cali, now it’s Sam’s turn (they are both Montanans). I wonder what the…

Leading The Race Last Weekend
Random musings: Caught a glimpse of Natasha’s snapshots capturing the cycling scene in Flathead, draped in RM Robeux’s vibes. Got me pondering – who’s that rider rocking the Cervelo under G.A.S colors, and what’s the deal with Doug Shrylock’s team affiliation? Also, tossing around in my head – how soon can I snag my packet…

Pending Doom
Hello from a flooding apartment in Missoula Montana. I have been desperately moving all my stuff to higher ground before the hot water heater bursts and floods the man cave. I must move everything because as soon as someone touches the hot water heater to remove it it will explode. The bottom is nothing but…

The Devils Slide Race
Morning! I’m starting the day with a bit of a headache—spring’s knocking, and my window’s wide open for that fresh air charm, even though I can feel summer lurking just around the corner. Despite treating my body like it’s a rental this weekend, I’m feeling surprisingly spry. Check out the pics! Lewiston, Idaho was scorching,…

Weather Turns Nice
Greetings from the picturesque Missoula, Montana, where I’m indulging in a scone and nursing my aching muscles from last night’s epic mountain biking adventure. Seriously, that ride threw everything at me—single-track trails, dusty dirt paths, glorious sunshine, and even a dramatic punctured front tire. Thankfully, good ol’ Stan’s sealant worked its magic after just three…
