  • The Big Overhaul

    I am sitting here enjoying a Kettle House Double Haul after a long days work at the lodge. Ok! This is what happened. I went to the Break Espresso this morning for a coffee and yummy. The next thing I know I am working on the web lodge and getting back the old theme. Then…

  • Time To Pay The Bills

    Good morning! I am blogging while I wait for my mysteriously slow connection to serve over just a few bytes of data to my computer so I can view my GOOGLE spreadsheet containing what I currently owe in bills. This morning I am feeling a little sluggish from last nights Pattee Cake Ride . I…

  • In The Dark

    Good morning! With the state champs behind me and a week off from racing I am sitting here yelling at Marcy to stay out of the toilet. She is always trying to drink out of the toilet and I don't know about you but I don't want to be hugging a toilet drinker. I just…

  • MT Cross Champs

    Hello from a frosty Missoula Montana where it is only about 13 degrees outside. Butte Montana is below zero at this hour and my luck seems to be getting frosty as well. It all started when I received a paycheck that had been docked a few hundred dollars to penalize me for losing the company…

  • Going to Kali

    Good morning, I just finished my breakfast of Morningstar Farms Sausage, hashbrowns, and cheesey eggs.

  • Pumpking Carving

    Good morning from the Break Espresso in Missoula Montana. I just got done with my caramel roll and coffee and also was able to upload a picture [ click here ] of a result of last nights festivities. Last night my friend hosted a pumpkin carving party and I do believe this is the most…

  • First Place Tie In Mens A

    Good evening. Missoula is cold and dark. I just got home from the final race of the Wednesday Night Cyclocross Race Series . Tonight I raced to a fourth place finish and that put me in a dead tie for first place in the Mens A series standings. Tonight it looked like a nice sunny…

  • Lessons From The Trial

    Now and again I think of things while I am riding the single track deep in the woods. This is my classroom and temple. Last night as I was coming back into town with a big golden sunset in my face I had some thoughts I thought I would jot down in my blog. I…

  • Sun Missing and Cross Results

    Good morning from Missoula Montana where the sun refuses to come up and I have just finished off my breakfast and now working on a cup of coffee. The sun refuses to come up because it is sleepy and yesterday it had that day off (sick day). We all hope the sun gets better soon…

  • Big Win in Bozeman

    I am finally home and putting things away and at the same time watching Sunday Night Football. I arrived about an hour ago and sat down to enjoy yesterday's winnings a big sandwich from Starky's. Starky's is a sandwich shop in Bozeman that makes a pretty big and tasty sandwich. More of that later. I…

  • From Big Sky Montana

    How cool is this? I am sitting in Big Sky with a wireless connection and blogging my heart away while at the same time munching a real good banana nut muffin. I am at the Hungary Moose Deli in Big Sky and the scenery out the window is spectacular. The race is over and I…

  • Ready For Big Sky

    I just repaired my back wheel again this time doing some bending and twisting and re-tensioning. It looks pretty good and there is no weak spots. I looked all over town tonight with my friend for a wheel but only settled on a big ol bowl of Ice cream. That means I must race ……

  • Keeping From Getting Lapped

    This morning I feel sore and weary. It does not reflect how well my race went last night. No! I did not win but I did not do bad either. Before the race I had my doubts. The bruise where I pulled my muscle had become swollen and wiggly like it was full of water.…

  • Always In the Chase

    I woke up this morning feeling better than I would have figured given the fact that when I went to bed last night the big bruise on my thigh was really disturbing. It is particularly disturbing because it is from a muscle pull. Last weekend I was racing with a slight muscle pull when I…

  • 2 Races in Missoula

    This morning I am sitting at the Break Espresso with not one but two-day olds and a cup of coffee. The day old selection at 6 a.m. is quite good. I scored an almond croissant and a lemon scone. If I wanted I could also score a patented Break Carmel Roll … Yummy! On the…

  • Death on Higgins

    I’m sorry to hear about the death of Colin Heffernan. It’s a tragedy that a young life was lost in such a way. While I can’t comment on the specific details of the accident, I can say that it’s important for both drivers and cyclists to be aware of their surroundings and to follow the…

  • I Need To Hide Out

    Yesterdays Cyclocross race did not go well and I feel like I want to hide under a bush today. I don't want to face others until I have had time to get to the truth of what happened last night. What exactly caused me to get lapped? Well, I don't know; and until then leave…

  • The Perfect Trail

    Good morning. I am sitting behind a big plate of my patented potatoes turnover and just finished up a cup of joe. At the beginning of this racing season I had no idea if and how I was going to go to all the races. With my money situation it seemed impossible. Now that the…
