Another beautiful weather day! We backtracked about 8 miles to the west out of Bozeman and then head due south to West Yellowstone…along the Gallatin River.
The Gallatin River is spectacular! Unfortunately, it also flows to the north…which means out entire ride today was uphill! The uphill route combined with a steady 20-25mph headwind made what was originally billed as a relatively easy “recovery ride”…a bit of a battle! At times we struggled to make 12mph! Andrew, Craig and I rode together most of the day. We’re a good fit…safe and steady! Ruth and Allen joined in for the last 50 miles or so…we needed all the help we could get!
Riding along the river and into the northern fringes of Yellowstone National Park was pretty spectacular! Got to see the occasional fly-fisherman and a few river raft tours (America on vacation). Other than that…no wildlife today! The meadows are filled with wildflowers this time of year and that makes the air smell really fresh.
I’ve worked within most areas of the park…and often wondered what it would be like to ride your bicycle through it. Tomorrow, I’ll find out!
Blogger's server is not working...so I'll try to upload photos after dinner.
