Montana living

It’s been a fun week to be in Montana!

Over the weekend I participated in my once annual bike race. It was a blast and lived up to true bike racing in Montana fashion. The women’s field was small, so we got to race with the Cat 4/5 men - which ended up being a lot of fun. The nearly 60 mile road race covered 2 significant climbs: Flecher Pass to 6,000’ and then the final climb to the Great Divide ski hill. This was Montana racing at its finest with a dirt uphill finish and hail in your face

My friend Sue sent me this photo of me at the finish line in New Orleans. Raising the roof. Elated to be finish, because any finish is worth a celebration.

It kind of all went down hill after that. Too much good food on Bourbon Street, a late night, then being cramped in an airplane coming back to Montana. I got off the plane and felt like I had been hit by a Mack truck.
