Still feeling the effects of yesterday’s ride, a slow start meant the heat was already building by the time I’d started riding. Destination was Three Forks – which just happens to be the Worthington coat of arms.
It was 5 miles before I clear Helena and for the Montana landscape to show itself again. You can see why they call it Big Sky country but it could just as easily be called Big Everything.
20 miles in, I came to The Big Bull at Weston – a welcome stop for coke & air conditioning. Dan had messaged, accepting my apologies for not waiting on in Helena for his arrival. It’s tough managing two separate itineraries.
Todays ride was open vista all the way. The road & the railway followed river valleys gently up & down and had the luck on a 5mph wind at my back. The sun & temperature were the killers!
My Garmin brought me into Three Forks via the Old Town Road which was seriously blockaded at ends of a bridge 5 miles in.
Then the miracle – out of this deserted land, 6 young Bozeman guys were hanging out at the bridge & lifted my bike over the two barricades. Without their help 10 miles would have been added to this hard day.
