Just wanted to update everyone on the going on's since Whitefish. As Stacia put in the comments, Jen and Doug rejoined us on the morning on the 19th at Glacier Cyclery in Whitefish!! Jen is just an extraordinary person for wanting to head out again, let alone 11 days after she crashed!!! She is doing great and has succeeded in climbing 3 divide crossings in the past week!! That is well over 20 miles of climbing and rough gravel roads. We are very excited to have her and Doug back!
This evening we pulled into Helena. We haven't had a day since Whitefish that hasn't been beautiful (Thanks everyone for praying for sun!) and we have made a good amount of progress. We stay at Lincoln a couple of nights again but didn't get a chance to find where Ted Kaczynski's cabin was, but we did see a few that sure looked like the pictures in our minds. And the past two days we have conquered 3 divide crossings, all with at least 3 miles of climbing!!
Well tonight we will rest up before heading to Butte in the next couple of days. We only have about 150 miles or so before we hit Idaho and we are all excited to see what's next. We want to thank everyone for their support and love as it is what fuels us when the map reads "virtual wall". If you feel the need to send something, we are going through Snickers at an alarming rate but just a postcard or card of well wishes and encouragement are more then enough (Plus the trailers already weigh in the ballpark of 50-60lbs so paper and candy work well :)

Way to go Jen,we are pulling and praying for your strength.
The Lima package was mailed this morning as regular parcel post. Hope it gets to you on time. They thought it should take a week; by July 5 or 6. The nasty heat of the past week is breaking up tonight. Just in time for race week. Good riding to all of you.
Keith, I love that the photos are now clickable and I can see the full size images!
Great to hear Jen and Doug are back on track. John is hoping to ride with you somewhere soon. I think he emailed you to see where and when would suit best.
