blodgett canyon….slow speed, highly technical…..loose, big pieces of granite and a damn good time. Thanks for the ride fellas !
Lumfest Part Duex
A weekend getaway with the fellas is JUST what the doctor ordered so a few of us Hamiltonians headed on over to Pipestone to hang out with good buddies from Missoula, Bozeman, Helena, and Great Falls in part two of the Lumfest series (sorry if any of you called on saturday and i wasn’t here). Camping, grilling copious amounts of sausage, drinking fine Irish Whiskey, and riding some of Butte MT’s finest all in back to back days.
12 bikes, 12 people & 3 dogs

spring ride
Headed out for a true spring ride today. True in the regard that inevitably the ride starts with beautiful 60d temps and warm sunshine which allowed us to savor the best part of the ride, the singletrack. But in true spring fashion just as we were ending our singletrack leg the clouds moved in and dumped a ton of rain down on us as we made our way back over the lick creek pass. Not only did it begin to rain but the temps dropped a good 20 degrees, my pale legs turned a purple hue and my cheap rain jacket soaked the rain up like it was a sponge. It was a good thing we had such a long climb back to keep the internal fire stoked or other wise my skinny arse would have froze. It was still a damn good ride and i’m happy spring is finally here.

a little wet on the way back
when i stopped to take the above picture is when i noticed the rainbow beside me and my bike, purdy cool picture i thought. And damn good timing.
Ventana’s secret SS stash
so just out the back door of the shop is a sweet labrynth of singletrack, so after talking about bikes all day we decided to head on out to the stash and end the day in dirt…..it was a good choice of trail and thanks to aaron and sherwood for the ride. It’s just what the doctor ordered after a 20 hour drive, no sleep, and a giant burrito. day # 1 is done.
