sVery slow internet connection, so I won't try loading photos now.
Interesting terrain today, and more pleasant backroads - no Interstate riding!
Bumpy morning, lots of up and down and then an afternoon long gentle climb up to a plateau.
Dryland ranching and irrigated sugar beet agriculture. Red Lodge was a small tourist town. Rode along the front of the Beartooth Plateau with the top of the plateau obscured in clouds all day.
I wasn't aware that Montana ever had a low persistent cloud deck and high humidity - and cool pleasant riding conditions.
Every little lump of a hill seemed to have a house on the very top (with nary a tree in sight). 3 possibilities: they wanted a 360 degree view of other little hills; they really like wind, wind, wind; they needed good cell phone reception.
6.9 hours in saddle, 177 km (108 miles), av speed 15.7 mph, av pulse 94, av wats 138, 5280 feet of climbing.
