The Big Ride 2011 June 30

Today is day 11 of The Ride. I'm in Helena, where I have to move Baby and the truck in 15 minutes. Today is 61 miles from Avon to Townsend MT, over the Continental Divide. The weather has been coolish, especially today, which suits me fine. The riders are goin through a period of "it's harder than I thought it would be", flat tires and bugs yesterday, sore ankles and butts. They're all pretty subdued at night, but elated that they made it one more day. The scenery is fantastic--Montana is a gorgeous state, at least so far. Baby is doing fine. More later.
