Big Sky Country

Finally made it up to Chris' temporary neck of the woods. Enjoyed a relaxing week in the wide open spaces of Montana - few people, no traffic, no attitude, remote bike trails, hot springs, beer guzzling, lots of driving, and a little history.

Clean air, fun trails, but always attach a bear bell to your bike!
Chris leading the way on the Continental Divide Trail outside Butte, MT.
Crazy narrow gates!
Making the most of the cheap Guinness at the Harp Pub in Anaconda, MT!
120-year-old copper smelting plant at Granite Ghost Town outside Phillipsburg, MT.

Local Discovery ski area in the background... too bad the snowfall isn't consistent, but then again it keeps the tourists away and the area rustic.
It may still be summer, but Mother Nature was thinking "snow."
Ended the week on a wet and wild ride on Grassy Mtn in Bozeman!

Sounds great - peace and quiet, deserted trails, beer, narrow gates to keep fat people out. Nice MSC jersey too, you look like a winner in that :-)

UK Tribe this weekend, won't be quite the same though ...
