7 Aug 19 Bozeman MT

In need to inform my cycling colleagues that for this trip, cycling takes no part.

Today, travelled with Bill to his office, North Fork Financial, in downtown Bozeman. A nicely repurposed historic industrial building, with original facade & retro interior. Bill introduced me to his team & then I went off to explore the town.

Bozeman is a university town &, for Montana, it is big, population of 50,000 – 4th largest in the state. Without the normal mess of mega store outlets, this town is very healthy, thriving with local shops that are a pleasure to spend time in. However an Englishman entering shops, bandaged & plastered, was never going to go unnoticed & I must have told my story a hundred times before the day was out.

Weatherman Don & his wife

Amy, Grace, Wyatt, Torrin, Heidi & Jack

Our evening was very pleasant. We all went off to Bill’s younger brother, Jack & wife Amy, for a barbecue.

Lots of talk on travel, politics & weather. Jack’s old neighbour, Don & is a retired tv weather presenter & shared some of his less accurate forecasts

Bill & Jack had been raised in the east but gradually progressed west to settle in Bozeman & now rightly feel very privileged to do so.
