everything to do with our travelling by bike
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. We have been above 2,000m for the past week so reasonably well acclimatised to the elevation ( Sorry America, I can’t bring myself to say acclimated 😱) The…
Riverside to Walden. 79.25km. 807m ascent. 4h08 ride time Today we left our campsite for a gradual climb all day with just 1 decent hill. The road had been ground off for the first 6km so the surface was rough and the wind was against us 🥵 The road was pretty quiet but just before…

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…
Dillon to Ennis. 112.15km. 847m ascent. 5:19 riding Great day with just one steep climb of 5km at 7-8% 🥵 The clouds were low as we set off from the hostel but by 11:00 they were high up again and our view was unimpaired 😊 We set off with a good tail wind and covered…
Wisdom to Dillon. 113.63km. 804m ascent. 5h30 ride time What a day! Huge skies, cold but clear and sunny ☀️ We had 2 climbs and another highest peak at 2,243m on the Big Hole pass and we have been maintaining altitude above 1600m for several days now The views were breathtaking with snow covered mountains…
Darby to Wisdom. 93km 1,192m ascent Today we left our Warmshowers host Curtis to go over the Chief Joseph pass. Our highest pass so far at 2,216m The first 2 hours were gentle climbing to Sula where we had a last coffee (also the last chance to top up on water and food before Wisdom)…
