Ol BW with a big a smile tells them well I rode my bike all the way to Montana..
Still calling me a liar. I get that from a few here on the 'Fire, ain't used to it. I do stuff like that face to face.
Actually I got lucky getting waylaid at Lubbock, otherwise I woulda been around Casper maybe last week, maybe about now looking to go that way INTO Yellowstone.
A sixty mile steady climb to Sylvan Pass to the west with no services, coulda taken me three days, camping in the woods both nights en route. Instead with a tailwind I did that whole stretch coming down FROM the west in a single afternoon
Likewise climbing the hills north of Boulder MT, north of Ennis and north of Helena would all have been walk-and-push propositions instead of more gradual inclines climbing them from the direction I did.
