We had an inauspicious start today. Hung out at the Super 8 until 11:00 a.m. because of 38 degree temps and drizzle. Things improved along the route, however, but not until after missing a turn and pounding out a couple of acute uphill miles in traffic and no shoulder. Attitude. We had a spectacular remainder of the day. There were lots of mountain views, and we crossed the Continental Divide the fourth time -- nice, 6-mile downhill on that. Tonight we are camping along the Big Hole River not far from Wise River, MT where we plan to have breakfast at the end of a 10-mile morning ride tomorrow. We met several Great Divide riders today: one from Japan who took our picture and another couple from England. Each day of this adventure has been rich. The Montana landscape is simply magnificent. We covered 42 miles today -- respectable. Take care.
