Lots of things going on

Again my posting has been sparse but I've been pretty busy lately. On Monday I decided to see if I could get a consulting business going from out here in the Butte so I basically spent the day networking. It actually went pretty well so I decided to incorporate my own business. That was Tuesday. My new company is called Axtell Consulting Group, LLC. Mount Axtell is an awesome backcountry skiing area up by Kebler Pass overlooking town. Basically, I will be drumming up some business via my East Coast contacts over the next few weeks. I don't really want to go into too many details here but things look promising.

This morning I was invited to the CB Rotary Club's weekly breakfast meeting so I went up to the resort for the meeting. I think I will follow in Mr. Prescott's footsteps and become a full fledged Rotarian. I know I should be leery about joining any organization that admits Wayne but they do a lot of good work.

Went for another hard group ride tonight out of Gunnison. A couple of local pros showed up as well as Dave Wiens so the pace was pretty brutal at times. We did a loop that included the dirt road climb I rode last week so that's where I got shelled. I took a few chances on the downhill and reeled in a few people but if it weren't for a regroup I would have been in the grupetto. The road riding out here is not half bad despite a lack of variety - there's something to be said for the incredible scenery (hell, I'd be happy riding my trainer just staring up at these mountains). One of these days I am going to ride right off the road gawking at the amazing views.
