I am sitting at the Green Hanger waiting on my laundry to finish drying. Marcy an I just got back from the Big Dipper where I redeemed my free coupon and cashed in on free "doggy cone". Walking pt Tipus I wished I had the cash for dinner. I am exhausted as I sit here…

Bohart Bash
Hello from the Break espresso, it is sunny and nice outside. I am enjoying a cup of joe and a snickerdoodle. Unfortunately the day old cinnamon rolls are gone so I had to do a snickerdoodle. I just got back home last night from the Bohart Bash Mountain Bike Race . It was the best…

Finding Time to Ride
Man, if the walls of Break Espresso could talk, they’d probably be muttering about my caffeine addiction by now. Thirty hours, 15 cups of joe, and 4 questionable pastry decisions later, I emerged with a new website and a serious case of the jitters. Turns out, battling rogue hackers on my blog takes a toll.…

Stewart Peak Trail in 1:53
Sitting at Break Espresso, I’m enjoying my second day off during this 4-day weekend. Currently indulging in a cinnamon roll – those who know, know it’s something special – and blogging about my record-setting climb yesterday. I started at the parking lot, heading up Spring Creek all the way to the wilderness boundary. I began…

Holiday Weekend Approacheth
Maybe that isn't a word, aproacheth! I just sat down with a pan of cream of wheat just after a cup of coffee trying to wake up after a restless night. Last nights Thursday Night Ride was fantastic but brutally hard as I included 4 power sprints. I brought my heart rate up to 170s…

Single Track, Movies, and Sun
The news says, “another hot one today.” Yea right! It’s called summer and it is finally here. The single track out at Coyote Coolie was hot and dusty just the way I like it as some friends and I tore it up on Sunday. All this and I am thinking of getting this site up…

Breaking Through – Mormon Peak Ride
Yesterday was a very nice warm sunny day in Western Montana and on tap according to my training plan was to do a race pace ride. Enter the Mormon Peak Run. I called a ridding buddy, gathered him up, and headed to the Mormon Peak Road off route 12 (about 3 or 4 miles East…

Broke
I am at the Break Espresso this morning after a week of bad luck. I have a lemon scone, a cup of joe, and I see the person that I am here to meet is logged onto my site. This week started out as the usual stressed out ”have to work“ week but by the…

In a Fog
I just had the last bit of deer meat that a good friend so gracefully gave me for breakfast. It was good and now I am hoping to actually get some money today to finally get some groceries. Last week I sacraficed all my normal living expendatures to go racing and camping. After suffering wothout…

Race This Weekend
It is supposed to rain today and in a big way but for now the morning is peaceful and the usual routine has me chomping down cheesy eggs and preparing for work. Last night”s On-line Meeting here at the Web Lodge had a decent turnout last night at around 5 chatters during one point. Most…

At the coffee shop
It’s raining! I am willing to bet that we are over our usual precipitation level for the month already. I am at Break Espresso sitting in front of a cinnamon roll and coffee. I am here this morning for a on line meeting with a bud to do web stuff on his site. I am…

Hayes Point Trail Last Night
Last night the dark rain clouds almost deterred me from going to Blue Mountain for the weekly Thursday Night Ride. In the end I did show up hoping that no one else would show so that I could just go home and grab the hiking shoes. It looked like rain and I did not want to…

Rainy Day
It started raining around 6:30 Am and it hasn't let up since. It feels good and the air is sweet with positive ions (a friends phrase). I just came back from walking Marcy and we are soaked. After last nights ride maybe a higher power is saying, ”stay home tonight“. Yea, I feel sore from…

Not Comfortable Yet
I just got back from a ride. I rode the mountain bike and wanted to a easy test ride. I was very uncomfortable to say the least but I dont think any damage was done. I rode the Deer Creek Sneak. I hope to ride tomorrow with the Thursday Night Group so I better hit…

My Absence From it All
Well it is Monday as I eat my breakfast in my apartment and prepare for the work day. I am experimenting to see if I can sit at a computer better than I could last week. I have been away from my blog and cycling as well for a week now. Without giving too much…

Where to Go
Every web cam I go to this morning shows heavy snow in the mountains and the forecasts are not much better. I am sitting at the Break Espresso once again contemplating where to ride today. I have at least two hours in the saddle today even with a certain new issue I am dealing with…
