The other day we rode out and back on the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) heading north from Homestake Pass and this time we rode south. A lot of people do it as an out and back but we opted to make it a loop so we could ride a couple other trails also. Our ride …
The Continental Divide crosses through where we are boondocking and we rode a portion of it the other day and another section today. This time we headed north towards the Our Lady of the Rockies statue. The out and back was 17 miles with 2717′ of climbing up to the highpoint of 8200′. Most of …
We’re solidly in Montana now, boondocking by Butte. Neither of has ever ridden here and there is a lot to check out. Our first ride was a figure 8 of sorts that incorporated some of the trails of Thompson Park. Our adventure was 16.7 miles with 2569′ of climbing topping out around 7450′. We parked …
There are quite a few lakes in the Island Park/ West Yellowstone area. We road to Sheep Lake, Coffin Lake, and Hebgen Lake. On one of our days off we went from camp to check out Henry Lake. There’s a state park at Henry Lake but we are camped on a back road to it …
We started the day hoping to do a gravel ride out to Cliff and Wade Lakes but once we got to the road we found it closed due to fire activity. Plan B, we drove back to Raynolds Pass and rode the Continental Divide Trail out and back towards Nemesis Mountain. Our ride was 15 …

I assume this lake is called Coffin Lake because of it’s shape but I couldn’t find anything on the internet about it. We started this ride on the gravel rode at Fisherman’s Point on the banks of Hebgen Lake. This way we could get a nice warm up before hitting the singletrack climb. However, you …
I am not a fan of crowds. I can’t stand waiting in a line and I hate driving in traffic. So we went to Yellowstone National Park for a day. It wasn’t my first time in the park, but last time I went it was probably the mid 1990’s. Derek and I spend most of …
Mile Creek is another section of the Continental Divide Trail in the Island Park, ID area. It is tucked in the western flank of the Henrys Lake Mountain Range at the border of Idaho & Montana. The review on Trailforks said that grizzlies move through this trail all the time and have even been seen …
We had an unplanned day off from riding. The night before after using our toilet for #1, when I used my foot to press the lever to flush, some little plastic part snapped off. Turns out it’s a pretty pivotal piece in that it’s what opens up the toilet to flush. Well of course we …
