The weather forecast for this 125km ride was for early rain continuing all day. Fortunately the forecasters were wrong or else the rain gods took pity on us. One 600m climb plus a steady upstream day was made easier by the lack of rain and a fantastic tail wind over the final 60 km. Scarred by the previous days experience we were all over dressed and had to keep stopping to shed clothes. What a pleasure.
We rode up the Ruby river scarred by bygone dredging for gold, over the pass and I to the Madison Valley. What a beautiful place. We are resting at the West Fork Cabins for a short 60 km ride into West Yellowstone and a few days rest -yeeha.
This was a 9.5 day - great fun!
