• The Hell Ride

    Last night’s training spin quickly morphed into an epic saga of man versus nature. Dive into the map of my route to see just how the adventure unfolded. Not long after leaving the comfort of town, my rear wheel began its own rebellion, threatening to end the journey before it truly began. Yet, against the…

  • Not a Good Sign

    On This Day In History This post capture moments of adventure, creativity, and everyday life, inviting us to look back and enjoy the journey through time.

  • Lolo Hot Springs Ride

    My friend Ross and I embarked on a three-hour ride up past Lolo Hot Springs and up to the Pass. I did not do the pass but saved that for next weekend when I have a 75-miler over to Idaho planned. I just posted photos of that ride over in my Picassa Web Gallery called…

  • Broken Shifter

    Hello from the City Brew where I just attained my second round of scone and coffee. I figured out how to do what I like and get Marcy out as well. I have my goodies here then right after we head right down the street to a new hiking trail at the very end of…

  • Unattached From City Brew

    Good morning. The weekend is finally here as well as rain, snow, and high winds.  Looks like today’s time trial will be a trial.  I just realized the slight difference between trail and trial … a trail is a trial of skills!  lol! The trial on the trail this year is finding mountain bike race…

  • Sun Sets on Warm Friday

    Tonight, I got the chores done early and escaped the work week and my money troubles with a hike with my dog, Marcy. We headed up Pengelly Ridge and captured some beautiful sunset photos. I just uploaded a bunch of photos to my albums “Spring Training” and “Life in Missoula.” Go check them out! Wondering…

  • Race Equipment Arrives

    The anticipation of spring always has me excited—it’s the perfect time to prep the bikes for racing season. I just received a big order, and the first thing I tested were the new shoes. Initially, they’re really stiff, thanks to the carbon sole, which feels a bit like wearing ski boots without the upper part.…

  • Neuvation Cycling Comes Through

    So there I was, pedaling like the wind on a training spin, right? Just zipping off the Scott Street Bridge when bam! I hit this gnarly storm drain hole. Now, most wheels would’ve thrown in the towel, but my shiny new Neuvation wheels? Nah, they just shrugged it off like it was nothing. But then,…

  • Riding Goes South

    Headed to the South Hills, that’s where the adventure took me tonight! I embarked on a journey via Lower Miller Creek Road, looping back via Miller Creek Road itself. Before rolling back into town, I took a detour down Garrett Street and meandered around the South Hills, really soaking in the vibes. And speaking of…

  • Resting at 33

    Well, well, well, folks! Bill here, and I’ve got a little health update to share. No, I’m not claiming to be 33 years old, but guess what? My resting heart rate this morning decided to take a trip down memory lane and clocked in at a spry 33 beats per minute! Now, that’s a number…

  • Cyclist v.s. Mother Nature

    Oh, today’s the day for a beastly two-hour spin! Who’s up for the challenge? Hit me up, call or shoot a message on Meeb. Dive into that saddle and let’s tear it up together! Yesterday? Pure chore day. But hey, big win – the laundry mountain? Conquered. Now, about the finances… yeah, we’re kinda dancing…

  • Hard Miles

    Yesterday’s ride was hard mileage.  I went up route 200 and it rained the entire way.  Note to self.  Take the clean and possibly snowy road over the sand covered and rumble strip laden one. 60 miles later I was back at home surprisingly energetic and strong although a little hypothermic. ON THIS DAY IN…

  • Great Riding in Seeley

    Yesterday, I took a little jaunt over to Seeley Lake – you know, just a casual training ride and to cheer on my pals who were braving the Snow Joke Half Marathon. Just uploaded a bunch of snaps to my Picassa Web Album, aptly titled “Feb 22 2008 Seeley Lake Training Ride”. Go have a…

  • Its Off to Seeley Lake

    I am going to Seeley Lake to watch my friends Josh and Larry do the Snow Joke Half Marathon.  I figure this would be a cool place to do some pre season riding.  Upon leaving the apartment this morning I am thinking maybe it will be cold and snowy over yonder …. what am I…

  • New Arrival

    Last night I received my new rear wheel from Stan’s NoTubes.com.  The dude has some sweet stuff you can buy.  I also got titanium rotor bolts … Nicceeee! The wheel is super light and looks cool without a sidewall (braking surface).  I can not wait to go riding on the mountain rig! On this day…

  • The Fork is Out For Refurb

    I just sent out my SID(front fork) to have it refurbished for the upcoming season. I feel Hippie-Tech Suspension is the best place to have your forks refurbished. For one this guy was instrumental in the development of Rock Shox forks and has their full endorsement.  Remember last year a local bike shop messed this…

  • YouTuber Makes Comment

    On my latest video, a user named bikenboard74 has made the comment, “Why? Lame!”. I deleted this negative message off of the video page because It is offensive to myself and my friends.  It may be lame but we think it is cool to go for a ride then share our video … just bear…

  • Road Riding West of Missoula Day 2

    Tonight’s road ride with Josh was a repeat of last night’s route, but this time we pushed all the way to Frenchtown, looping back via our humorously dubbed climbs, Alp-du-Frenchy and Alp-du-Freds. In reality, our return was along the Frenchtown Frontage Road. We even captured some of the journey on video. Don’t miss the footage—check…
