After a bit of a slow start, some nasty weather, a few punctures and a lot of fun, we have made it to Whitefish, Montana. Ollie’s bike is getting a bit of a makeover, so we have a few minutes to spend here in the library.

What to say about the trip so far? It has been hard work - a couple of huge killer hills yesterday but some wicked downhills too. Marco and Ollie have both seen bears, I haven’t yet. We’ve seen plenty of deer and a moose, loads of squirrels and chipmunks, and I accidentally ran over a snake yesterday…..

The scenery has been unbelievable too - snow on the mountains and loads of green hills and trees all around. So wonderful to be travelling through this land. The view seems to keep on changing and I can’t wait to get some pictures up here soon.

Should be quite a flat (ish) day today, with one big climb towards this evening, and then another hilly day tomorrow.

More soon…..
