HBDBM

First off, happy birthday to Bill Martin, and great job winning the Devil's Slide MTB race last weekend!

Grettings from sunny/snowy/warm/cold Bozeman.
I, Emule being of sound mind and body, made it out for two rides this weekend.
Woke up saturday to 3 inches of slush and snowy grey sky's.
My plan for the weekend was 7 hours of riding, so after stalling a bit and wavering I went out on the fixed gear with road tires.
I road the town trails for about two hours pushing a cadence of about 10 through slush.
The sun came out for a while and I stopped by Sprouts and she joined me for another two hours on roads.
Then it snowed some more.
It is funny, no matter how bad it looks outside, if you just get out the door, it is always a good ride.
Riding the road tires in snow really keeps your mind off the heartrate monitor.

Sunday I road out to bear trap along the madison river. It took 2.5 hours with a big head wind the whole way, plus my fried legs from pushing through snow on saturday, but the sun was out and the sky was beautiful.

This coming weekend Dollar Bill will be heading to the Barking Spider MTB race.
Julie will be doing the Grizzly triathlon on saturday.
Sunday Julie and I will be heading to the Rocky Mountain Roo bay.
Hopefully we will be joined by Sprout, Jenny, Rich and Sten....

Also, I have quite a bit of hard training this week for 24hr races, so if I fly off the front at the Roo Bay just let me go....
I will have nothing in the tank.
nada.
zilch.

Just let me go....
