Descent From Pipestone Pass- Day Five

I finally got my GoPro helmet camera up and running and took this video on the last of the major descents on Cycle Montana. This is Pipestone Pass on old US10 headed east out of Butte, MT. It wasn't the fastest or the longest of the descents by a long shot but it was good fun.nonetheless. Pic of the top of the Pass:

And the ride down, again, headed east.

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?
