Ok, so the blog continues...

We are now back on the road, cycling to Seattle covered in various ribbons that have been sent to us in support of Paige and her family. We took several days off to travel to St. Louis for Paige's memorial service, spending about 5 days in total on a bus, watching several films including 'Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus'...

I don't want to blog too much about these days but it was really helpful to talk with Paige's family (her Mum had ridden with us previously for a day and said she will join us for the final leg into Seattle).

Back on the bike.

We resumed our trip from Dubois, having entered the wild west territory. The last few days riding has been stunning, including the Teton Pass, which was 6 miles of a 10% climb followed by a hair raising descent with lots of switchback turns. I was clinging to the brakes a lot and still hit 40mph.

We have also had a day off yesterday which was spent touring in a big yellow school bus/car vehicle around Yellowstone. Saw lots of buffalo and elks but the bear is still evading me.

Todays ride into Bozeman was a 90 mile ride which was almost all downhill - we arrived before 1pm having stopped a lot; climbing rocks in the river. I fell in a little bit.

So we have a few more mountains to climb with the Rockies looming but Seattle is drawing closer.
