Bozeman to Helena to lincoln

West yellowstone to bozeman was an 80 mile day. It was a little stressful because we were on narrow roads with lots of trucks, but my group took it really easy and stopped a lot. We tried to donation magic a free white water rafting trip...it didn't work. But we got pizza in town! It was really pretty following the river all day.

The ride to Helena was insane. 110 miles with really strong headwind. I rode all day with Olivia, which was great. We had a good pace going, and somehow made it. Leaving from second lunch and going up one hill for half an hour was a struggle, but finishing our last century ride of the summer was a great feeling.

Lincoln was a short day with one big climb. I rode with Theise and Mallory, and we took it really slow and played games all the way up. At the top of the pass all 30 of us chilled for a while. We played some over-competative four-square and blasted music. The Rockies are a lot less scary than I anticipated. I feel like we can get over any pass at this point. That night we camped in tents, which was an adventure. We made s'mores and hung out around the campfire. Lots of frisbee and guitar. Awesome night.
