Alan calls from Butte

Racer update about:

 

Hi this is Alan Goldsmith calling from Butte, Montana. Just re-supplying at the Outdoorsman and the gas station next door. It’s ten 'til one, we’ve just come in from Basin where we had breakfast, and last night we stayed up at Park Lake Campground, which is very beautiful, and closed, so we were the only ones there. Yesterday we came across from Ovando. Tough, but beautiful. And the day before you may have thought I spent the day in bed, but the batteries on my SPOT died. So we went from Big Fork to Ovando over Richmond Peak, which was snowy, but not nearly as snowy as last year, about half as much, and the scary bits weren’t scary. (Big truck just arrived.)
Um, we’re off to try and get to Wise River now. And. Yeah. ‘We’ is John Fettis, who I’ve been pretty much riding with on-and-off all the time, and we linked up with Kevin Dean, nice guy from California, History teacher, we caught up with him yesterday and we’ve been together since. Anyway, it’s a great trip! No worse for being the second time out. Everything I expected, and going a little bit quicker, so all good! Bye!

Hi Alan

Great to hear your update - You're putting out some big mile days so keep it up

We're all glued to the Spot and lots of email traffic about you and the other Brits

Ride hard but safe
