Helena, Montana



Here's a picture of the Lobster Line from yesterday when we rode through Helena, Montana.   To pass the time, we played the "Do you know the capital of _____(name that state).  Truly, I'm not smarter than a 5th grader in this regard!   But it was fun to ride through the capital and move on to Ennis.   I just found this photo so this all took place a few days ago.  Still, what is truly amazing is how it is hard to recall where we have been as each night seems like a circus show -- doing the ride from place A to B, setting up the tents, eating, laundry, and packing up and doing it again.  Hard to keep track of each location or even the highlights at times.  Even the Lobster Line looks like it is ending.  Leslie is finishing the ride this week -- she signed up for the first two weeks of the ride.   Jerry and Fred are going off to ride in Yellowstone on their own for a couple days.   And, I couldn't keep up with them when we hit the headwinds in todays ride.  I linked up with a few other guys -- Stephen from Wales and Chuck from Ohio and we rode the last 20 miles or so together in a new line.   My hats off to the Lobster Line though as they really carried me through some tough rides this past week.  In two days we will have finished 1000 miles -- roughly 25 percent of the entire 4200 miles!
