Don't get me wrong, Europe is great, and I love Helsinki in particular, but it's wonderful to be back in Missoula; I'm convinced that there's no better place on earth (though I'm sure many as good) for me.
In the three weeks since I've been back, I've been biking a lot with Jen. We're getting ready for the Butte 50 by doing some long rides and also racing twice in Missoula's Wednesday night XC series.

| Jen and Kelly always battle it out. |

| Edgar and I battled in out in the last race -- in the end I couldn't hang with him. |
We also spent 5 days and nights over 4th of July week camping at our property on the Dearborn River. It was a grand time: great weather, lazy days of reading, swimming, and evenings with Jen's family. It's the longest stay we've had up there for a couple of years, against the kids' will, so we count it a victory.

| Alex built a jump to pass the time. |
 |
| With the forest fire scare as it is, we built our campfire literally on the river. |

Welcome home! Our summers are so short--you're really packing it in! Hope you caught some of the Folk Fest too?
Nope, I wasn't able to make it over. Welcome back to you as well. Sounds like you loved it.
