Strava link Satellite tracking The bike travel today was fairly uneventful. Marian’s airline travel on the other hand was quite the ordeal. She missed her flight in Bismarck and spent the rest of the day at the airport getting rebooked on several different flights. Only to have her last chance for the day be lateContinue reading “Day 23 Richardton to Bismarck”

Strava link Satellite tracking The pictures in the videos tell their own story, but you need to hear about lootie. I met her on a stretch of the I 94 interstate. It took me a while to make sense of what I was seeing up in the distance. I saw something on the side ofContinue reading “Day 22 Beach to Richardton”

Strava link Satellite tracking Three little stories today. Number one, the wind is ridiculous!!! It was blowing 20 to 30 miles an hour today but thank goodness it was a tailwind. For those of you that are cyclists this will mean something, but I averaged 18.8 mph for 76 miles on a fully loaded touringContinue reading “Day 21 Circle to Beach,ND”

Strava link Satellite tracking Not a lot to add here (if a picture is worth a thousand words). It was a gorgeous day, fun riding, and ended with the most enjoyable chance encounter with a rancher, his wife, and two granddaughters.(so mad that we didn’t take a picture together)

When I was in Cutbank I was talking to a farmhand at a convenience store whoContinue reading “Day 19 Winnett to Jordan”

It was a light rain so, there wasContinue reading “Day 18 almost Lewistown to past Winnett”

Strava link Satellite tracking Today was a pretty uneventful day of riding pleasant weather neither hot nor cold, rolling consistent scenery, I went through the cute little town of belt and on my way to Lewistown where we stayed in a nice hotel for three nights. We found a local brewery for dinner. I oweContinue reading “Day 16 Malmstrom AFB to almost Lewistown”

Strava link Satellite tracking Three interesting little topics for today. First a big smilestone today. I crossed over 1000 miles since I started my journey!! Second, I met a westbound cyclist David Silverman (davidbsilverman on Instagram) who started in Long Island New York. We exchanged information and contact info then had to head off inContinue reading “Day 15 Conrad to Malmstrom AFB”

Strava link Satellite tracking Three disconnected stories today. Story number one, wind the good and the bad. I started with a downwind leg from Browning to Cut Bank and I guess before I get too far into this, we are talking about 20 to 30 mile an hour winds. We don’t see those in GeorgiaContinue reading “Day 14 Browning to almost Conrad”

Strava link Satellite tracking Be fore warned this post has 19 pictures and eight videos so take your time with it. It was a great day beginning to end. It started with packing up the campsite at 4 o’clock in the morning in the dark. The campsite was great, there was a shower and thereContinue reading “Day 13 GNP to Browning”
