Calling Nashbar was like phoning the Bermuda Triangle – my order vanished without a trace, again. Second time’s the charm for lost packages, right? Not in Nashbarland. So, I decided to channel my inner bike whisperer and embark on a shop tour, the kind that leaves your legs quivering and wallet trembling. Big Sky Bikes…

Good morning. I awoke to find mom on the web and chatting with her as I speak. My plans to act like I have a job are falling through. I get up whenever and now I am playing on the web. I planned to get out for a hike early and get some stuff done.…

The Missoula Cyclocross Series, proudly sponsored by Big Sky Brewing, officially dubbed the Big Sky Brewing Wednesday Cyclocross Series, will take place at the brewery on Missoula’s west edge. Races kick off on September 15 and will run for 5 weeks, starting at 5:45 PM. The tap room wraps up at 6:30 PM, just in…

Good morning. I have a headache but it is slight and I will try and get a handle early. I ordered a wheel last night and it was $150.00 (my rear wheel on my mountain bike is toast). I cant afford it and maybe I will not be able to fix my car's turn lens…

3:20 AM: The reception was great and the food … well was great too. Why do I hesitate? I ate too much and almost ruined my ability to go drinking the rest of the night. After the reception a faction of us went to the Wild Wild West dancing. Very cool place and it was…

August 28, 2004, might just go down in history as the day of the unplanned adventure—courtesy of Grandma’s well-meaning but slightly overreaching hospitality. She had promised a friend we’d escort her to Billings, setting the stage for a day filled with unexpected turns and, let’s say, memorable moments. There’s an unwritten rule in the book…

I am heading to my grandmas house in Roundup Montana. I am going on the high line through Helena Montana. I expect to do this in 5 hours … I am hoping even less. UPDATE: I just hit my second animal. The first was just over the pass from Helena. I hit an owl and…

I’m packing up and hitting the road, pronto. The rain’s been non-stop, and now, to top it off, it’s started snowing. Seems like the universe’s way of telling me it’s high time to skedaddle back to the car. Spent the entire day, from sunup to sundown, with my ears glued to an audiobook on MP3…

I have just set up camp. The hike was ok but not very exciting. Nothing to see because of the weather. The views are so . I actually don't know what I was thinking but I just kept going until I finally ended up on the submit of Triangle Peak. It is flat up here…

Yo! Stumbled upon this killer website – the National Forest Preserve Alliance (NFPA, see what I did there?) – and let me tell you, it got me fired up faster than a squirrel hopped up on Red Bull. Since movin’ to Missoula, I’ve realized our forests are in serious trouble, thanks in part to the…

Well I am just about off to an adventure in the Crazy Mountain Range. We plan to go to my Grandma's in Roundup first to drop off Marcy and park Paul's car. We will leave here around 11 AM. We should leave Grandma's house by 5 PM. We will reach the trail head and camp…

The Crazy Mountain Range is reported to rise dramatically some 7,000 feet above the Yellowstone River Valley and the surrounding plains 15 miles northwest of Big Timber. They cover an area of 136,547 acres in which my friend Paul and I plan to explore a small chunk of it. It is a road-less area and…

Well Sunday is here and Paul is packing to go home. I am sitting in Liquid Planet posting my dream and some pictures hopefully. I will probably only resource the up coming trip to the Crazy Mountains. That is planned for Tuesday through Friday. Tonight we are hiking Sentinel and doing nachos afterward with a…
