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.
