Hey again folks, so let's see where I left off, oh yea, day 9 the ride out of Lincoln. It was a beautiful sunny day, rode over 3, yes 3 passes that crossed over the continental divide. So if you are keeping track at home we have crossed the divide 3 times in the US and 4 overall. It was a long day camped at Moose Creek outside of Helena. Met the county commissioner for the Lewis and Clark County that was in office when they captured the unibomber in Lincoln....interestingly small state for how freakin huge it is! Day 10, Sunny all day and one of the toughest days so far, though I will probably say that after everyday. Rode into Butte, MT got in around 7pm after leaving around 9am. That is a looong day in the saddle. We decided to take today off after getting in late, need to recoup, re-supply and get our bikes worked on, last bike shop til Colorado. Stopped in at the Outdoorsman, owned by Rob Leipheimer brother of pro cyclist Levi. Rob was more than generous, had a lounge set up for people on the divide, whether touring or racing, worked on our bikes immediately for free and offered some great advice. Thank you Rob and Larry for the work and generosity, it is much appreciated. Highly recommend stopping here for anyone doing the divide, actually it is a must!!
