Stage 11 and 12: The Mountains

Stage 11, 248 miles from Billings to Great Falls Montana. The day should be spectacular. Heading towards Glacier Park in NW Montana, the route would prove to be great. After a run up the high plains, we turned onto US 89, The Kings Hill Senic Byway. Beautiful road up to the pass, with a nice steep climb at the end. The old singlespeed Indian did fine, but I decided I would gear down for Glacier the next day.

I have ridden Going to the Sun Road before on modern bikes, but you never know on these antiques. The weather decided to cooperate, but Jason still gave us the option to bypass Logan's Pass. Most riders chose the pass, and it was a special ride. 





Entering Glacier National Park


The Sun was shining on the way up, with sleet and snow at the top. The steep descent towards west Glacier it was spitting rain and foggy. Still a beautiful ride, and the old Indian preformed well.






Tonight we are in Kalispell Montana. Gonna change the gearing back and get ready for Spokane Valley.
