After reaching Logan pass I decided to get back on the Great Divide Route so I pedaled to Columbus Falls. New Bike shop in town, Over the Top Mountain Bike who were so helpful. Father and son team who hooked me up with Dave. 
Dave and Jane were so kind to rejuvenate me. Shower, clothes wash and a place to sleep ... thanks Dave. Dave a life long bicyclist is enjoying retirement and focused on empowering Guatemalan communities by making pedal powered machines from old bike. Also working on a program to teach the Guatemalan women to produce a unique line of bicycle bags. It great how Dave is giving back. Married 46 year, Jane also plays a role in the partnership. Happy Birthday Dave!

After Climbing Logan Pass yesterday, I was glad today was somewhat of a level ride. One significant climb but rewarded with a descend of 8 miles of smooth gravel and lots of s turns. 











Stopped by to visit Tom who lives right on the route and offered to host me last night, 9 miles outside of town. Very interesting guy.  Bicycle frame builder, builds cafe motorcycles and has a barn full other project. He’s fully up to speed on the Tour Divide race which is underway now.

Swim tonight in Swan Lake, cold but not glacial cold.

Met up with a new crew that are pedaling south bound to Mexico. Travis, a medical student from Washington state, Peter, studying to be a chiropractor and Lilly from Washington DC who is a teacher. Interesting to here how there ride has been going and what there expectations are. Fun group and looking forward to spending time with them.

The Great Basin

Met back up with the crew again. Fun time in Atlantic City, last real meal before entering the Great Divide Basin. Her’s the crew primitive camping the night before. Misquotes were out in full force.  Day one we were on the saddle by 6 am. Hot and windy. This morning, up at 3 am and riding by 4:00. Much better, cool and no wind. 60 miles by 9:00 am!  Landscape is surreal.  Only water source for most the Basin.

Final Thoughts on Dreux's Great Divide Adventure

Image
What worked and what didn't?  I often said while riding the Great Divide, "you should begin your adventure with the equipment you have." If you wait until you have just the perfect equipment, you may never start your adventure. Money will buy lighter and more compact equipment but with that comes a more fragile equipment. Taking too much stuff. This is a common mistake you hear all the time. It's said you pack your fears. I was guilty of this as well. I could have reduced weight by at least 20 %.  Clothing - For the most part, the clothing was dialed in. I would have left the rain booties home and switched for water proof socks. A hooded rain jacket would have been ideal rather than a helmet cover.  Bicycle - I enjoyed riding the drop bar steel bike. The brakes and shifters were a joy. More tire clearance would have been nice in the mud and a granny gear for those early big climbs. Ideally, better balance of the packs would have eliminated a sli

Entering Customs Through Roosville, MT

Image
One last big climb out of Flathead Forest to enter United States. You are always bear aware but today I saw a cougar on the top of a pass. He gave me a quick look and headed the other direction and into the forest. Also several grouse  sightings. Finally some dry weather.   Eureka, MT has a community camping ground with a shower and grassy space to camp. Stocked up with supplies for several days and stopped into the Front Porch for a cheeseburger topped with huckleberry ice cream, odd but really good. Meeting up with lots of long distance hikers doing the Northwest Pacific Trail.  Plan is to reach Polebridge tomorrow. Sadly Andrew and Diana will continue on the Great Divide Route and I plan on visiting Glacier National Park, Riding to the Sun Road. Hoping we meet up down the road.
