Wow....those goathead vines and thorns are quite prolific, huh?! Yikes! :/ I'm sure that there are some that get in the roadway too (vs. being on the side of the road).

Good idea to have the Pilot Rock school band to be on a big flatbed trailer, so they didn't have to dodge the horse crap. :)

Yea, that would have been nicer for the dance studio group to be in FRONT of the horses, so they wouldn't have to dodge the horse crap!

At least there's that little store in Meacham to get something to eat/drink!

The panniers are 2 years older than the bike.

I remember you mentioning that guy, but I never got any info.

Bacchetta Bikes in Florida shut down. The company restarted in California, but had to completely rebuild their supply chain. 1 year wait times for frames and everything else custom made such as seat mesh assemblies and seat packs. The mesh I just bought will last until I'm 75 years old if I continue to ride the Giro 20 about 1000 miles per year.

I'm content with the High Desert Rivers theme, a big loop around the Yellowstone supervolcano. Going to Yellowstone would add too much climbing and the lodging is probably booked up a year in advance.

Cody is the only area that this route revisits. I also thought about revisiting Red Lodge but decided to skip the 2000 foot climb.
