Happens a lot. Anyway, Iâm looking at 115 miles south down I 15 to Boulder MT to get back in the game. Legal to ride the innastate margins here, and a lot saferân most backroads. Be careful on that last drop toward Helena. You may reach supersonic speeds.

Be careful on that last drop toward Helena. You may reach supersonic speeds. Problem with âdown Beartooth Passâ and âlast dropâ is ya gotta climb first. Other problem with steep descents on a heavy bicycle is that rim brakes CAN get hot and fade. Had it happen before. Due to social obligations itâs looking like noontime before I can roll, still leaves me near 10hrs of useful light.

Yes. I'm telling you to prepare for it in case you missed it on your way north. You will be doing around Mach 3 if you're not careful. There's a similar drop north of Loma that won't affect your journey but it has caused a few boo-boo's on a number of cyclists. The rest areas south of Great Falls are second to none. Very hobo/bicyclist friendly. Almost like apartments.

If you need to fuel up before you head out go to the Celtic Cowboy and get the Irish Breakfast.

My opinion of Great Falls grows by the minute, stopped by WallMart-the-Way-it-Oughtta-be AKA âThe North 40â to pick up a Katadin Hiker pump water filter (to go with the solar phone recharger I ainât used yet either). Currently in The Celtic Cowboy waiting on an Irish breakfast with my gracious host. This place is uber cool. Tks for the heads up on the rest areas. Maybe Iâll stay a week.

Irish breakfast?
Sounds yummy.
And fuel for a good run today!
Have fun again.

I'm probably the best guide you could ever have in Great Falls. If I was still around I'd stop in and make fun of your bicycle.

Hopefully his host had the sense to get him some Howard's pizza. And stop by The Playground.

Been here maybe 48 hrs and I already know the Playground is next to Great Fallâs heavy metal/biker bar, couple of blocks from Scheelâs which is like a Cabelaâs wannabe, must cost a mint to heat that place which is why I was directed to go water filter shopping at the North 40 instead

Shut the hell up, Jim. I may retire there. Bullchit you are headed to Mississippi to retire and live your dream as hillbilly hog farmer living in a classic 1971 single wide with holes in the floor. While mastering your craft of the banjo..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Blitzed through test-riding the bicycle, stayed maybe 20 minutes, small but excellent firearms display, original and repro... mostly looking for a stuffed toy to send to the Kid. Whenever Grampa here goes on a road trip for the summer,, about once a week he sends the Kid a stuffed toy specific to that locale with a postcard. Itâs what grandparents do.
