Weekend Rides 5/11-5/12

[Irulan]

I did the STOKR ride in Montana. Saturday there are two loop options, a 45 mile or a 90 mile, and Sunday is another 45 miler. I did both the short loops with a friend of mine who I'd never ridden with before. It turns out we were perfectly matched riding partners. Lots of people were , "Stokr? The weather will suck, I'll never ride it again" etc.... we had stunning spring weather: 80 degrees, sunny, no wind. There have been prior years involving snow and rain, but not this year. Each morning we started early enough to be the heat. The ride was very well organzied and I can't say enough about the baking talents of the Libby Community.

They had great support, gent showed up with a floor pump just when my friend needed it


Did I mention the pie?


Day 2, we got to ride over the Dam. By registering for the ride, they got the riders cleared through Homeland Security.



We came around a bend in the road to this.....
