Steve calls in from Butte

Yep, this is Steve McGuire calling in from Butte. Spent the night last night up above Basin, lost. Must have been some other people, because there were tracks up where I was. Came down to Basin, ate breakfast this morning. Interesting climb out of Helena. I thought that most of the climbing was going to be done between Lincoln and Helena, but as it turned out, the last forty of the day was pretty significant. Otherwise, getting the bike--getting some brake pads put on and a chain that's doing quite well.  Physically, I feel good, now that I'm all warmed back up. I'm with Jeff and Ray. Take care.

Jeff calls from Butte with more tales from the darkside!

Yea, so this is Jeff Kerby, and I'm just calling in to say that I left Helena yesterday about noon, and immediately, head wind like crazy... uh..I don't even know how far I climbed- it was a miserable experience. At one point, I hung a left when I should've went right on this snowmobile trail, so I went down into these rocks and I knew, kinda sorta right away that it was wrong, but it took a long time to hike out. Well, I left the bike, because I wasn't sure I was wrong, and I hiked up and saw these two women. And I was like, can you help me? And they looked at me and they're like all, "Let me get somebody- and they said 'Josh!!!'" Well, Josh comes out of the brush, and he has this half mullet/half mohawk thing going on, and he has clown eyes painted on his face, tattooed, and he has this 3 inch salamander lizard thing on his index finger, and he's stroking it. Well, he comes up and asks me to admire it. And I'm like, admire it? Hell man, can you help me get to D1. He didn't know anything. All he did was stare at this damn lizard like Golem in Lord of the Rings or something. Ah, you know what? The alien thing wasn't even this scary, nothing was this frightening. I just wanted to go home at that point, you know...  I don't know, you figure in Montana, that's where he was probably straight from the meth lab... but Anyway, made it through and I'm currently with Steve McGuire and Rob in Butte. I'm just happy to be alive, and didn't get acosted by the circus animals. Anyway, I'll call from the next town. Bye.

Hi this is John fettis, just calling in from Henry's Lake.

It's been a fairly straight forward day so far, no incident on route, and hope to get a few more miles in this afternoon, it's kind of a nice day for it but just battling against the winds a bit.

So bye for now. See ya.

Hey, this is Trevor Browne. Just got into Butte, Montana this morning. Stayed last night in Basin, had some beers and had some excellent hospitality with the locals there. They let us stay in their house. The track yesterday was pretty hard. the top was a good walk.  everything is going well and we're all pretty happy to be here, I guess.  We'll talk to everyone soon and just say hello to my family and girlfriend.

Justin calls from Lima again

Hey, it’s Justin. It’s 9 a.m. Friday, unfortunately, I am still in Lima. Um, had some bike issues this morning. My seat post collar is stripped out and I couldn’t put any weight on the seat. The town is super small and I couldn’t get it at the hardware store or anything like that, but stumbled upon somebody’s garage and after they got done fixing a quad, it seems like he should be able to get me rolling. Tap out the thread. So, I’m going to be out of here shortly. Um, I’m pretty sore from the 150 yesterday, and very late start today and it looks like it’s going to be super hot so it will be a low mileage day but hopefully make it to the next food and water and keep going. Over and out. Bye.

Cricket returns to Butte for some sleep
