Best day on a bike ever. I rode my bicycle up the rockies this morning and then down in the afternoon, and it was great. The wind was really strong so I wasn't positive that I wouldn't end up blown off a cliff, but it died down in the afternoon (just in time for the ride down!) I went to breakfast in the morning with Michelle, Kristen, and Zack at some cute lodge and we sat there for a little over 3 hours because he has time to kill since bicycles aren't allowed on the road between 11 and 4 over Logan Pass. Finally it was go time and Kristen and I who were hopped up on coffee and adrenaline climbed the Mountain fairly quickly (20 miles uphill in 2 hours time..6,000 feet) when we got the the top (continental divide) it was 43 degrees so we ran inside to try to keep warm until we were allowed to go down the pass.
The ride down was stellar! Sadly there was road construction so we took it really slow at points (one lane has that effect) but once we could let loose, we did. Oh the views, that place was wonderful! We got into a town around 4:30 and had a chocolate milk to power up and then finished the leftover 50 miles after that, which made it a bit of a long day, but totally worth it.
