11am finally rolling out after laying everything out to dry.
A local told me that two years back there was a big drug bust at this idyllic place, a bunch of Cops complete with bells and whistles laid on intercepting a 2am transfer of 400lbs of meth.
Also, 20 miles up the road at Hebden Lake bighorn sheep are supposed to be all over.

Bicycle calorie app on your phone. Not a bad idea to make sure incoming = outgoing.

Thought it might help with those 11am start times. But what do I know.

How many calories do you think you burn on an average day? WAG...... 4,000 - 5,000 maybe? I’d have to keep track and then look it up. Kinda funny, but when I think of a calorie burning dynamo, this doesn't quite fit that expectation of a 5,000 calorie chiselled calorie burner... .

Turns out Forrest Gump was right; about thirty minutes along I come across a Campfire member (Dave AKA Timbermaster) waiting by the side of the road waiting for me. Now, at times like this you really do reap what you sow, I mean some guys here are so widely disliked they coulda just been run over, or else left tied to a tree in Griz Country covered in BBQ sauce. But, since I'm usually polite to folks here, Dave (not the d&&khead, I mean another Dave) was concerned, offers me a ride to West Yellowstone AND gives me a down sleeping bag See, Haysoos looks after His own sometimes Drives me thirty miles here in return for which he graciously allow me to buy him lunch. Some may call this cheating but the rules plainly state that when some guy you've never met drives 60 miles out of his way to help ya out, ya get a free 30 miles. I didn't ask Dave if I could post his photo here so I won't, but here is a photo of one of the coolest guys on the 'Fire on his bicycle, BFE Montana..... Dave (the cool one, not the other one) waited along this stretch, it really was a thirty mile haul through nowhere up them mountains to get to the Caldera.... Backing up, the view into the Madison River Valley yesterday morning.... Main street Ennis, and the Shedhorn, a freakin' awesome outdoors/gun store....

Oh heck, didn’t even open ‘em. Enter in 180lb male, 90lb bicycle, a crapload of hills. I can't find a calculator with a 4 mph input.

Riders on the road yesterday, all going north (I/m headed south) Two 72yo Australians, Yorktown VA to Astoria OR, 3,500 miles. They said they were doing it while they still could, same as me..... The storm cell in back was on its way to dump half-inch hail on Ennis, they must rode right into it, I ain't worried. Of note, they noticed my very useful copper Alamo re-enactor cup tied to me bag, said they used 'em in Australia too. Most unexpected, two girls from Chicago, blitzing around Yellowstone and Montana, another storm cell we all just missed in the background.... A mountain bluebird.... A typical storm cell, crossing the valley west to east...

Ballpark guessing your height @ 5'-8", and averaging between 10 - 12 miles an hour, 62 years old, bare-bones bicycle (entry for weight of extra gear not included in calculator), it's showing approximately 470 calories burned per hour of continuous peddling. (Entry for type and grades of terrain not included in calculator, either.) Less than 10 mph calories burned drops considerably --- average of 7 mph = 277.calories burned.

Look me up when you get to Massachusetts.

This what it looks like when you almost get jumped by a storm cell... What's it worth to ya to be able to shoot elk off of the back porch..... We was getting rained on, lightning was flashing, these guys were in a metal boat in a river in a lightning storm, OTOH they did reel in a big trout while I watched Untitled The Hotel de Birdwatcher at first light.... My camp for the night out of the wind and out of the way.... OK, you're all caught up, I am learning Mandarin here in West Yellowstone today
