2006 Great Divide Ride (Day 2) Seeley Lake to Butte

Contributer: gpskevin (07-25-2006)
Distance: 202 mi.

Ok Day 2 turned out great. We started at 7:00 am and it was cold but beautiful in the morning. We climbed at mountain called Huckleberry Pass. There were great views looking back down in the valleys. We had an 10:00am gas stop and Jeff had a breakfast hot dog. Next the trail got narrow and wound through the trees. I encountered a fallen tree and did not want to jump the BMW over it so three of us pushed the tree out of the way.
We came across a group of mountain bikers that had spent the last week traveling form Butte. We told them that we would be going to Butte today and they said that the trail was too rough for motorcycles. There were several large boulder and ruts and root and hills that we would not be able to get our bikes up. So we continued.
It turned out to be a little challenging, but it was the best part of the day. I got one picture of Bob coming down a rocks hill. The big bikes did great.
At the end of the day we rode the last 20 miles on an old train track bed. It was fast and fun. Check out the tunnel.
