To Montana and back ...

Well now life is still good and all . I took flight well actually drive from Oregon over a week ago up to Issaque,hung with Danyel and fam then next day off to the center of the universe Montana. Really started missing it and the peeps in just a month.

We know than rolled in and headed for Byarn brewery for dopple bock oh my 2 maybe 3 and things seem way better and can accomplish anything attitude sneaks in.

So head twinge that night up sort of early to catch the Scarfe suby express to bozzoe town for costume mule cross. the coarse rocked with everything but mud and I'm always good with that. I had my old tricross bike with way to high of gearing to peddle my massive carcass up the ahould run hills. We being the 40 plus masters raced with the 1,2,3 group and it was good time mostly cept for the sram rear derailleur going fragelie with 4 laps to go and 3rd was were i would stay after moving up close to the ghost like Scharfe. The Mule cross gang were very entertaining ,the hole was festive and fun to hang and chat.

The rest of our week in Zoo Town was full of good visits,dinners,drinking and blue bird awesome rides and company during. The fall colors were some of the best .

I no more than came back to Issaque with Danyel and Payton then I was up with a late start from there headed towards Salem Oregon for the E-Z orchards cross race.may ed it with a half hour to spare before 50 plus 35 plus B race ,just right.

So off we went 12 or so old guys and 24 or so young dudes in a muddy tight turning face clubben trees every where. The guise,ruts and muddy climb after the barriers were spots I kept lossing ground and would make up for it on the straights and some corners when I wasn't falling in my not so favorite corner 3 times-what kinda charm is that other than I finally kept it up last lap. So 3 times out of 6 laps , not so good. Did get 2nd behind legend Steve Yenne .

They were right by the orchard store with everything look en good after the hainess exertion. So I know I have lots of work before nats looking at sign up today and finding out that the man Ned Overend is in my age group along with Yenne,Griffits ffrom oregon and many other previous nat champs in there so shit better really buck up ...
