I love that iconic scene when you have been riding in Patte Canyon and are returning into town approaching the Mo-Z. Suddenly the town of Missoula breaks over the horizon nestled just below Lolo Peak and Blue Mountain. It’s the best. Isn’t it?

Bear vs Machine
Mr Bear takes on the Roomba An epic battle in Missoula, Montana. We just came back from the last weekend of legacy bike park. It’s tough readjusting to society. Usually I like to slip into a survival mode. Don’t get into fights and just try to get through until everything starts to feel normal again. Think I’ll pull my EMTB out and go for a ride 🙂

Walkthrough
On September 1st we moved to Missoula Montana and into our new apartment. This is how it went in 3 minutes. Exciting times for sure. And now that we have been here for over a month it is time to go on vacation. Three night and two days at Legacy.

First Ride
The first thing I did when arriving in Missoula Montana was sneak out for a ride. I had to figure out lights because when I left it was dark. I wanted first light to be in our new home doing what I love. Mountain Biking. 
Home We are back. Did we miss anything? Tonight is TNR … anyone going?

We Lived It
We are the only ones that will understand any of this. And looking back the real question is …
Keep in mind that we know one can never go back to a place. We knew that. We were ready. People never changer, right?
But what does a new/old place do to people? What about us? How would it change us. Or have we changed in a way that is going to affect who we become in this place.
So far the results are pretty interesting. And suprising.
Team MoBill has never lived in Missoula. It was Bill in Missoula. And it was Mo in Missoula. Never us in Missoula.
So … would we have ever evolved as a pair if I never moved away. I a crazed mountain biker. And Mo a caring, loving, and charasmatic friend to everyone she came into contact with. Maybe we would of just ended up friends.
You can trap a tiger and bring it to Montana. It will survive. If you take it back to Africa. I just may take off and you will never see it again. Will it be happier? Will it ever want to return to Montana?

Excuse Us
Sitting here with a cup of coffee in hand I have decided to invite friends over to share in this comfortable space I find myself in. Then suddenly as I open my photo album a cute little creature catches my eye. It’s a video.

A Beauty of a Ride
Before I moved to Missoula, the town that hates e-mtb, I went on a epic with my riding buddy Conte. Now that I have been in Missoula for a week I really miss these times. Funny how I missed Missoula … but a diffrent Missoula. It is so antiquated and uneducated here. -

The Crash
It has been a month, possibly two. Today we are at legacy bike park up by Flathead lake. Should be a good time. This crash happened about 2 months ago and I’m just now able to sleep on my right side. Again. Good times. -
One Last Adventure
Waterfall at Pine Creek 
Mo goes it alone on a hike. 
All the while … 
I Bike up to George Lake 
The we move to our new abode We are obviously in Missoula Montana new but this look back keeps perspective. From being alone and only our bikes and each other to many many good friends. This week we met up for many, many trips to the ImaginNation Brewery … did I say that right? Spell that right?
In any case, see you all at the Legacy Bike Park.
