Fri 6/11 to White Sulphur Springs (WSS)
A long day riding from Helena to White Sulphur Springs. 78 miles with 2850 ft of climbing. The ride was pleasant, except for the headwinds which started around 10AM and lasted until I turned north after lunch.
Sat. 6/12 to Harlowton
It was pretty cold early Sat. morning, so I slept in, and didn't hit the road until around 11:30. By then it was warm enough for shorts, but it still never got above 68 the whole day. The 58 miles was easy... downhill mostly with nice tail winds.
6/13 to Billings:
Weather forecast is turning hot, especially Mon. (100+) and Tuesday (108) . My Sunday ride was planned for Billings, 92 miles, but the winds were now going to come from the East... can't do that distance in 1 day with head winds, so I arranged for a pick-up at the half-way point (Lavina).
The nice thing about where I'm staying is that there's a diner right next to my hotel which opens
@ 5:30 AM so I can get out early and get to Custer (56 miles, mostly flat) before noon. The bad news about Custer is that the Junction Saloon, the only bar/restaurant in town, is closed on Mon and Tue, so it will be gas station food for dinner and breakfast tomorrow and Tuesday.
