I Made Some Cycle Montana Maps

First Three Days: I think these will be the hardest days. They contain climbs that are difficult to prepare for here in Nebraska.
Day One- Bozeman to Ennis (I have been to Ennis many times for flyfishing.)

Day Two- Ennis to Dillon (a Cat One hill starts the day.)
Day Three- Dillon to Wise River (has climbs of Badger and Grasshopper Passes... how hard can that be?)

My Cycling History

Inspired by some research I was conducting in 2007 on Omaha's recreational trails, I took out my old Schwinn and started riding it occasionally. By the summer of '08 this was becoming a strong habit... At the age of 60 I was riding more and more regularly and was very proud to have ridden 2000 miles by the end of that year. My weight dropped pretty quickly from a flabby 250 pounds. I was having lots of fun.

And now here I am nearly four years later with over 19,000 miles ridden and seven or eight bicycles either bought or built by me. Bicycling as a means of exploration, self-discovery and, of course, health enhancement is a major force in my life. I know I will never race or keep up with with lighter and younger riders.... but still... there's nothing wrong with striving to achieve a certain level of competence is there?
