this is super cool. Maybe I will do it someday. I have friends in Bozeman who could serve as HQ.

Tell me more about your equipment. I have a touring bike. the top bar is a little high for me, accidents could prevent babies- if you know what i mean, but otherwise it is a great bike. I would love to take it on a tour and maybe that is the one.

It looks like you used a mountain bike, how was that? I would like to know more about the equipment side of things.


cheers

Two of us were on regular road bikes. We used a camelbak plus I jury-rigged a front pack on my handlebars to avoid excess weight/bulk on my back.

THe third girl brought a hybrid, it worked just fine. There were no instances where we had to make emergency stops, so no racking yourself on the bar required.

It really is beautiful, and Bozeman's not far. THat's where my friend lives who came to join us for the evening; she said it was about an hour and a half drive. Let me know next year if you want company! The roads also empty out in the fall, but I think it's a colder ride, and because we don't have deciduous trees except aspens, the colors aren't all that spectacular... I'd do someplace with colors!

Hey yeah! I am going to train this summer for a long ride. If it happens to be in Yellowstone, I will let you know. I have never gone on a major expedition of this sort so it would be nice to have a practiced veteran.
