Full day of riding in the wilderness of Wyoming. Lots of great pics today. The first three are views of dawn and first light at the National Elk Refuge. Great valley and water views. 85 mile ride today with 3,000+ feet of climbing to get to the top of Togwotee Pass. Currently in Dubois Wyoming...753 miles into the trip. The next 200 miles will be remote...and I need to do at least 125 miles one of the next two days to have a place to camp...hope I have a headwind!!! Will not have internet connectivity until Thursday evening at the earliest.


I have 3 wonderful grandkids. Below is my 17 month old granddaughter, Ryder at City Beach Park yesterday. I can only imagine how excited she must have been.

Loving your posts and photos, Mel. So admire your fortitude and commitment to your ride and cause. Thanks on behalf of our youth who really need a leg up and our support, these days especially. I am honored to be your cheerleader!! Stay safe, my friend. I'll check in daily with great anticipation.

Why I'm Riding

I’m excited about riding and hope to raise funds for the Sandpoint Rotary Club’s Youth Service programs.  These programs make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of students as they prepare for the future.
