taxing. Flats - well not exactly. There are rises and hills the
whole way. It is supposed to be generally downhill and I guess it is,
we do end up with greater speed but there are definitely hills as well.
We started on the Blackfeet Indian reservation from Browning in the
high plains of Montana. It was cold, probably 34 and it had rained
all night - hard. By 6am the rain had stopped and we bundled up and
headed out around 7:30.
Bundled up: cycling shoes, socks, cyclying pants, shorts, long sleeve
wool shirt, rain jacket, leggings (cover socks to shorts), skull cap,
helmet, long fingered neoprene gloves. This is still light for these
temps. We rely on the cycling activity to generate needed warmth.
This works, almost immediately we are considering what to strip and or
add. When climbing hills we are hot, descending cold. It really was
a frosty morning. 3 hours into the ride I was wondering if it would
ever warm up!
We stopped for a warm up break in Cut Bank. Everyone is a cowboy
here. A lot of older fellas running errands with their cowboy hats
firmly in place. We had coffee at 10:30 and caught up with most of
you. For the first time in days we had good cell signal. Yea!? We
are so dependent on our tech these days. I do like to be in touch.
Here is our camp in Shelby city park.
