No, no hay sleds. I have seen them before and know what they are.
This is a beautiful area to ride.
I used to live in Hamilton, MT and the Big Hole was one of my favorite places. Amazing country! Did you see any of the old-style hay sleds?
10 months agoThis is a familiar sort of scene from our ride in Montana last year. Very nice to see it again.
10 months agoThose trees! That's a gorgeous photo.
10 months agoThere is also a llama outfitting company incorporated with the motel. Is that new?
10 months agoI stayed at this motel on my TransAm tour in 2006. It was nice.
18 years ago, my room cost $47.62. So there's been a little bit of inflation :)
Free pie ala mode and almost free beer makes up for the restaurant being closed.
10 months agoThat is a cute cabin. It's many steps up from camping.
10 months agoWe were quite a bit happier later when the man sold
Jacinto two Pacifico beers for $2. Total and gave me a piece of huckleberry peach pie a la mode. Jacinto drank one beer and is carrying the other for tonight. He says he’s sure beer costs more than that from the store!
That place reminds me of all the failed promises at Belden Resort. Not quite up and running yet.
10 months agoI was also able to transport it standing up in a minivan. I had just changed the oil before we left in March and used all the oil that came with the change kit. It was pretty straightforward. No problems with leaking.
10 months agoCrisp shifting! That’s my favorite thing about the Rohloff so far. Do you have trouble with yours leaking? I laid mine on its side to drive home from Tucsob, and the seals leaked. For the trip here, we put it in the van standing up. Jacinto’s Rohloff leaks, even standing up. They call it ‘seeping’. It sounds like more of a problem if you over fill when changing the oil.
10 months agoExcellent choice on the bike. I have so enjoyed not worrying about broken derailleurs and dropped chains with the Rohloff hub.
10 months agoWhoowee! Downstream and downwind. I love how this tour is starting out.

Not sure if it ever got over the passes but two years ago the Moose fire was happening in that area.
10 months agoHere's a reminder of how I spent my day riding much of that same route, starting from the Sula side of Lost Trail Pass:
