Walden to Kremmling. 129.87km. 901m ascent. 6h04 ride time Today we went over the Willow Creek pass at 2,950m which, I think, is the highest so far.

Ennis to West Yellowstone. TransAmerica day 23
Ennis to West Yellowstone. 116.73km. 970m. 6h23 riding After a good night’s sleep at our Warmshowers host’s house, she was absent but gave us the use of her house anyway It was a long ride that shouldn’t have been too hard if we didn’t have the 30km/h head wind. That made the ride a real…
