The flip off only makes me happier. If I don’t get flipped off once in a while I start to worry. Kind of like getting called a dickhead.

I have viewed many bikers just like this. What the camera doesn't show is how close to death this dumb ass really is. This is a narrow 2 lane highway with a speed limit of 70 MPH and that oncoming truck isn't as far as it appears due to the wide angle of the lens. Other than despising cyclists, I have no real reason to kill one, but it seems like they will do anything to make you kill them...

i've been guilty of doing that a time or two.
If I’m driving a diesel and you’re on the shoulder on the highway I’m sending a cloud. And if you flip me off,you’re still the retread being a pedestrian on a fook’n highway. especially at at stop light and someone blasting ghetto music with their window rolled down. not people just walking or bikes, unless they're hogging the rd.

A good place to grab a burger is in Wolf Creek and it's right on your way.
West side of Interstate off the just a little past the end of the off-ramp on the right side. Used to be The Frenchman and Me but they changed the name. Maybe Shotgun Annie's or something like that.
I live south of Helena in Clancy so PM me if you get in a bind.
Safe travels, you're getting a lot of shxx but I've been enjoying reading about your journey so keep it up. A good place to grab a burger is in Wolf Creek and it's right on your way.
West side of Interstate off the just a little past the end of the off-ramp on the right side. Used to be The Frenchman and Me but they changed the name. Maybe Shotgun Annie's or something like that Rolled into Craig about 8:30, rolled out about 11, which is how long catching up on photos and the net can take. More’n an hour to cover 6 miles to Wolf Creek, which is what a stiff headwind can do, even took off my hat and ties on the bike ‘cause it was acting like a sail. Only good thing about this headwind is ya don’t gotta brake on the downhills. It is Shotgun Annies, tho the proprietor was kind enough to send me over to the Oasis Bar because they have WiFi. Turns out WiFi at the Oasis got took out by lightning on the 4th and ain’t back yet. So here I am at Annie’s again. Fish n chips, just excellent I just had a burger in Craig but this is my last big calorie stop of the day. 1pm now, Nine hours of useful light remaining, i always do my best riding afternoon/evening. Much impressed by old school Montanans

Sir, my mind is a vast, still, tranquil pool of spiritual contentment. If you feel the need to besmirch your karma by “rolling coal” as we cross paths in this universe then surely we are all one Tho the Bible DOES teach doing that to me is the same as doing that to Jesus Hisself, in which case you’re fugged. Anyways, from here on in I’m gonna wave in case it’s Roger.

If it helps any, with two way traffic on a two lane road, I woulda bailed to the far edge of the shoulder or on the grass.

The official touring bicycle route through this area is over mostly narrow two lane rural blacktop roads. Often with lots of hills, blind curves and along sections of roads with steep drop-offs or ditches sometimes with with crotch-high guardrails and no shoulders wide enough to ride or pull over on. This time of year the weeds and scrub brush usually has grown tall and all of the way out to the pavement edges, too. In many places vehicle drivers can't see bicyclists ahead until they are right on their butt. It's beyond me how they don't get run over and run off into a deep drop-offs and ditches unintentionally all the time.

Because motorists endanger themselves so the dumb fugk can pedal another two hours.

Followed the old road along Wolf Creek, only had to get off and push once. Sitting here in the shade of the underpass where the old road ends and gets back on I 15. Looking up the hill there ain’t a whole lot of mountain left, I might even be able to pedal it. Sipping on a chocolate milk fueling up.

You guys ought to be bitchin' about the 85 year old guy that can't see past the hood of his 40' motor home that is pulling a boat behind it, driving all over the road at 33 mph... Until they start the grade of a mountain pass, and then he slows down to 18 mph...

Until they start the grade of a mountain pass, and then he slows down to 18 mph... Oh, believe you me, I do bitch. A lot. Had a good one the other day, I was car number 9 behind them, and there were a bunch more lined up behind me. Places to pull over too. Interesting factoid, enter the State of Cali Kommiefornia and one of the first signs one sees on the road is "Slower traffic must pull over to allow passing". Not shall, might, will, could. MUST. Guess some folks don't read. Not sure if it's codified, but used to be if one had 5 vehicles stacked up behind one would pull over. Guess it's a new world. Geno
