Healed

I bargained. I got angry. I fell into depression. We gathered, rode, and I healed.

153.16 miles and 22,648 vertical feet of climbing in 21 hours and 16 minutes.

Thanks Sten for having my bottles always full and preparing Marcy's ashes for every leg. Thanks you for staying awake all night and taking the journey with me. 

Thanks Ronnie for starting the journey with me and then being there all night long.

Thanks to Dave for sharing the first part of the trip with me. Thanks for the beer and the wisdom of long distance riding.

Thanks Rich and Marta for taking the journey and when exhausted decided to stay the night and see me finish my pancakes the next day. 

Thanks Jim for taking the journey and all your spirit in the grand loop of Missoula, I appreciate the enthusiasm, brother of the map.

Thank you Garland for the great rides this year and taking on the adventure in front of me blazing the way.  Thanks for being there the next morning with your son to welcome me back home.

Larry, you rode 80 plus miles and I thank you for all the great meet ups out on the trail.

We did it, what an epic adventure. What a vision quest.  Thanks!
