Holy Kshizzle! South of Ennis here. Just had a pair of peregrines do a prey exchange in the air not far over my head 😎😎😎😎
That alone was worth the price of admission 🙂 Those kind of things are what trips like yours are designed for. Glad you're enjoying your outdoor exercise adventure..............even if it's not hunting related. Geno

I haven’t really followed your trip, but what states have u visited? I left San Antonio with the intention of riding to Yellowstone to finish and fly home from a good friend’s house in Great Falls. Had choice of two routes; up the Plains or through NM and the Colorado Rockies. Made it 400+ miles to the NM State Line at Hobbs when it became apparent that the heat and inclines would take forever. Turned north, jetted 80 miles to Lubbock in a day. By weird chance my buddy’s wife was in Lubbock finishing a course, she asked me to help her drive to Great Falls so I did. That whole process cost me five travel days so now I’m started from the top end working south. If I make it to Cody WY by the 20th that leaves me 25 days to cover the 1,400 miles back to San Antonio for bragging rights. I’ve done 2,000 in 33 days before. Other choice is head north out of Cody to meet my friends out of Great Falls somewhere, kick back and enjoy their company. 25 days back to San Antonio @ about $60/day would set me back about $1,500- $2,000. Flying me and the bike back from Great Falls would cost about $500, prob’ly less. So, if’n I DO get to Cody (200 miles) on time I’ll decide then. I gotta say riding south July/August would suck, but then, there’s bragging rights......

Storms training over the mountains to the west finally caught up a bit after the “palisades” rock faces on the upper Madison, but sorta minor compared to the ones I was able to avoid.
I was gonna ride till dark tho pitching in the wet when wet followed by lows in the upper 40’s might not be fun.
Lo and behold, ninety minutes before dark, 56 miles from this morning, in the rain, quite unexpectedly a rest area appears 😎
Shelter, power outlets and drinking water, even decent phone coverage 🙂
If all goes well thirty eight miles to West Yellowstone could put me at Old Faithful the day after tomorrow.
Must be all my clean livin’ Good break! Been to OF once. Want to get back.

Glad to hear you found a safe shelter out of the rain. Keep on trucking to Yellowstone!

Geno Ya I know, heck, tell most people “I rode to New Mexico” and that does it already  A new wrinkle: sitting here wet at about 60F inside the rest area (Montana has really good ones) I suddenly got a case of the shivers, easily fixed with dry clothes and especially my awesome wool sweater. My little tent holds a small but significant amount of body heat, I got a 40F rated bag, a large cotton bedsheet and can sleep fully clothed including sweater. In Yellowstone lows are in the thirties w 50% chance of showers which around here I take to mean I’m gonna be wet at the end of the day, maybe camping in the rain. Then too there’s an 8,000ft pass heading east out of Yellowstone. Haven’t had to think about hypothermia in a long time. They say West Yellowstone just outside the park is a crowded zoo of tourists. Maybe I’ll look for a wool blanket when I’m there.

Birdy, when you bypassed Butte, you missed your shot at the Pork Chop sandwich. At least get a huckleberry milkshake before you leave Montana.
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

Packing up to move on, longer ride than I wanted today. 38 miles with some major hills, no restaurants en route neither.
Puts me into the lunacy of West Yellowstone late also.
Like I tell my students; life is hard and then you die 🙂

Birdwatcher,
How many calories do you need to consume a day for a trip like this?

Birdwatcher,
How many calories do you need to consume a day for a trip like this? I’m not sure but you feel it pretty quick if you don’t eat, like right away, and when you do eat it’s like it falls into a bottomless pit. At the end of the day I’ll eat about 30oz of a granola/oatmeal mix with a half gallon of milk and stop the next day for the biggest, greasiest breakfast I can find. Basically you can eat as much as you want and still lose weight.
