Day 10 - Helena

We did two Continental Divide crossings today. The views aren't that great but at least today's elevation gain was ridable. Yesterday's climb to cross the CD was extremely steep but afforded a nice view and held a couple of tiny stream crossings. Additionally, it's been extremely sunny. There are no clouds in the sky and sometimes the trail leads us through long stretches of treeless terrain. Needless to say Aaron and I have developed fierce farmer's tans.

The mileages these past few days and tomorrow are small compared to our 50 and 60 mile days just last week. We're only doing ~30 miles and tomorrow is only 19! Which is a really good thing since my bike won't be fixed until tomorrow morning.

Well I guess its off to the luxuries of Helena and to do some tourist things.

It seems all these libraries are using a stupid Novell solution to secure their computers, which restricts me from uploading pictures.
