We did get off course a bit, so we squeezed in about 7 bonus miles... Ahem! Montana is a pretty big state, so there is a lot to explore. Towns are pretty far apart, so it may take a while to find out you're exploring the wrong part.
The lay of the land has changed...
We got off to an early start because we had so many miles ahead... Rode through cloud of tiny bugs, which stuck to our fresh layer of sun screen... it didn't exactly "give us wings!"
Lots of long flat miles today, into the wind a lot of the time. Pretty, though!
When we rode through the little town of Twin Bridges, we found out that Trudy (Nye) is running for commissioner... So we did a quick campaign photo.
We made it to Dillon about 5 and were riding through a blocked off street on the way to the campground. A guy flagged me down when he saw my local bike club jersey... his mom lives in Nevada City!
They were having a fund raiser for a women's organization, with great food, entertainment and friendly folks. We hung out, had a great meal, the best beer we've ever had... then headed to the camp ground where we had the best showers we've ever had.
