We rode from Roosville to Whitefish, Montana over two passes. We saw various animals, amazing scenery and worked our butts off. Had to push the bikes through about a mile of snow at Red Meadow Lake. Once got off the paved road, it became incredibly rocky and rock strewn.  We had some thrilling down hill sections navigating rocks, debris, potholes and rough road. It felt great to be alive and have the opportunity to do this. The shuttle from the airport to Whitefish Bicycle Re

Thanks to Scott Morris from Topofusion, and his GPS data, we were able to add a cuesheet to the route using Ride with GPS. I have been using this software for a few years, but in deeper detail for the last few months, and I have to say it's been great to me. With Ride with GPS, you can search for a ride in your area on our route search page without logging in. If you want to draw a map, then go to their route planner and start one on your own, very user friendly. To upload ri

Hot and dusty to and from Hermann. Trip went well. I am constantly trying to learn how to do things better. On the way out, I put too much weight in the backpack. So when I repacked in the morning, I tried to minimize the weight and primarily clothes and the sleeping bag in the backpack. Hermann is a beautiful town and has nice a nice campground area. The showers were a bit unsightly, but it sure felt good last night. It took 6 hours each way which is about my normal pace

Nice day. A little warm, but much better than rain, windy and cold like I am used to. Got to Hermann about 6:45. Set up my tent, took a shower(that was nice) and ate a sandwich for dinner. I plan on getting up at 5:00am tomorrow and hitting the road as soon as I can. Hope to be back home by 10:30am tomorrow. Things are going well, and I am figuring out ways to do things better. I tell you one thing though. I have a 2 man tent. As you can tell in the picture, that is impossibl

After much work on the part of our charities, we are pleased to announce that Mental Health American and The Semper Fi Fund will be co-beneficiaries for our ride. 100% of funds donated will be going directly to the charities and all of the funds will be split 50/50 between the two charities. These two charities are doing tremendous good for our country and deserve our full support. Both charities are very highly ranked by charitywatch.org. Please visit their individual web

Really nice day today. Rode 125 miles. Burned 4200 calories. I felt good all of the way until I was 12 miles out and ran out of water. I had to slow down to keep from dehydrating too much. The training for the Continental Divide ride is going very well. I can feel myself getting steadily stronger. All of the arrangements have been made for the trip. We will start the ride on June 17. We are almost done with setting up the charities we hope you support because of our rid

It is a really nice day. Things are going well. I am planning on 125 miles today. Should have a nice tailwind on the way back. Not much of note happened so far today. #continentaldivide #KatyTrail #McKittrick #Missouri #cycling #bicycle #bikepacking #training
