I have not been eating this last week so my ride to where the Thursday Night Ride was starting became quite an ordeal. I headed out after work and by the time I had climbed out of town on the Treasure Trail, I realized that it was going to be a long night. As I…

I was in search of something to eat this morning and thought back to last weekend. Tonight is the Thursday Night Ride and I was marveling at how long it has been since I rode with everyone. Ok, so it has not been a while but that is not my point. My point is that…

I am up at 3 a.m. because I cannot sleep. My legs are a little achy from last nights little adventure. It was a sunny night and after work, I headed out to the deer creek drainage for some mountain bike exploring. As I climbed into the Deer Creek Drainage (the back road to Patte…

Has anyone ever watched the movie “Office Space”. It's a funny movie with a part where an obnoxious secretary says, “looks like you have a bad case of the Mondays”. I guess you have had to be there. Why do I lead off with this … ? Well I don’t know. it is Monday and…

Yo Missoula! Let’s rewind to yesterday: glorious sunshine, exploring Deer Creek Drainage with Marcy, and uncovering epic mountain bike trails. (Disclaimer: poor Marcy definitely got the cardio workout, my mountain bike made it a breeze ).

I am naming it the Grave Creek Growler because it goes along the Grave Creek Range. Although most of the party got all…

This morning I decided to go to Bernice’s Bakery for a coffee and cinnamon roll. When I arrived, the city was a bustling with activity. Today is the Annual YMCA River Run here in Missoula. Good thing I brought my camera. As the sun started to shine and warm up Missoulians the race started and…

Its all over the news, Lance Armstrong is going to ride in one more Tour. Frankly I am surprised he is going to ride again. I thought he was going to take a tour off and race in other races that he has missed out in the past 6 years. Its all over the news,…

Today I rode from Florence to Stevensville and even though the day warranted a four hour ride I was only able to do 1. I am trying to recover still from Thursday's ride. I am also recovering from getting my ass chewed out today as well as yesterday. Yesterday I was driving my car and…

Today is supposed to be a dandy. Well not to mention that I better get out the door to go pick up the paycheck from Work Force. Yes, it’s PAYDAY! Since I am a little overcooked from last night’s ride I am taking two days off to do some recovery activities. Too bad last night…
