Total miles – 906.41 Total ascent- 59640 The morning started off chilly, around 38 F. Eight miles into our day’s journey was a lodge style restaurant. We all stopped for a second breakfast and to warm up. We then headed over the mountain to the Grand Tetons National Park, specifically Colter Bay Village.

Total miles- 878.79 Total ascent- 58,144 ft More thunderstorms last night and we woke up to rain this morning. It was a good day to test out my Gore rain pants and over mitts. They both work very well! After a few miles we encountered another muddy road section!! It made a total mess of…

Total miles – 839.09 Total ascent – 54,624 ft Todays ride was a gem. We headed south on an old rail trail. Mostly flat or downhill, nice recovery for the legs. The only issue was that the trail was very sandy and the sand was thick in places. My front wheel took a dive into…

It’s amazing how hard you can be working and hardly get anywhere. The rocks on the road make your tires bounce every which way. The headwind is…

Total miles- 632.80 Total ascent – 47,333 Little Joe Campground to Bannack State Park, Montana Yesterday after I got to camp I had a low moment. The slightest incline seemed like a huge effort, spiking my heart rate and my legs have felt like all the blood has been drained from them for days now.…

Total miles – 575.10 Total ascent – 45,456 ft Beaver Dam Campground to Little Joe Campground Woke up to a very chilly morning, about 37 degrees. The funny thing is as soon as the sun comes up you are immediately hot, especially if you are pedaling uphill. So I start with my puffy jacket and…

Butte to Beaver Dam Campground Total miles – 538.40 Total ascent- 42,575 ft I am really tired today. I think it’s still from the big climb two days ago.
