Through Yellowstone and Shashone National Forest and all I can say is what an honor it is to bike along these roads. This is beautiful country.
I'm sitting in McDonalds in Cody Wyoming as my Dad gets a new tire. Our first flat of the trip. Nick just arrived to say we are ready to get on the road so I'm sorry to say this will be the shortest update yet. We pass through Cody to Greybull for the night. Only three days of biking left to Kaycee. Will write more at our next access. Lots o love.
Have fun out there, Christy!

so fun to hear all your montana adventures. We just returned from the ranch and had a wonderful week riding horses. A bit tough entering our home one dog short, but with everything comes a reason and a turning point. Being wide open to these emotions sure is openning me up to the pain, but I am finding joy as well....
Everytime I read this blog I holler up to skip your locations and where you are headed as he lived and worked and paddled in a lot of those areas before moving up here. A distant connection, but none the less a connection.
I am off to maine next week for 2 weeks...Look forward to seeing you soon.
When are you back in ak?
Big hello to your folks and the family! what a fulfilling experience you are having- those memories will last forever...

We only have three days of biking left but wont be back in AK till the end of July. We spend a few weeks in Oregon with Nick's family before driving up North. Keep those emotions wide open and I'll be in touch when we return:)

Last summer, I biked 17.2 miles through Yellowstone. A big accomplishment for me for several reasons, not the least because I'm a low-altitude girl and it takes me a week or two to get adjusted.
One of my bestest friends and her family live in Cody. I loved visiting her there and I am still in awe of Yellowstone. We did a lot of exploring and since my friend is a wildlife biologist for Yellowstone, we got to see some amazing "off the beaten track" sights.
And I had a close call with a Bison and an RV while biking...truly the definitive Yellowstone experience.

Angie, I wish I had more time in Cody to hang out with you and get a local's tour, like Paige's Yelowstone adventure...sounds wonderful!

WOW....I love reading your ventures whether it is biking or nimming in a ditch with wedding clothes on. I can't wait to see all of you upon your return to the Great Land. I have missed all of you. Enjoy your journey back. Have a long soak at the Springs!! Hugs, Mary
