Well, today we departed from Bozeman at 8:00 am and rode to Whitefish Montana. We covered roughly about 375 miles of spectacular country that had great roads with many sweeping curves. These great roads and wide open spaces allowed us to enjoy the performance capabilities of our motorcycles and hone our riding skills for Alaska. We arrived in Whitefish about 5:00 pm.
Our luck has been 100% so far and we have avoided the rain! We know sooner or later we will have to deal with the rain, but so far it has been wonderful to not have to suit up for it. We were told that they had terrible storms including tornado's in Seeley Lake Montana where we stopped for lunch. After lunch we all shared a piece of Peach Huckleberry pie with ice cream..., and we all agreed that it was absolutely the best piece of pie we have had in a long time. We resisted and only shared the one piece because our motorcycles cannot handle any more wieght. Just joking...!
We have had good luck missing all the storms so far, and we have truly appreciated the great riding weather we have enjoyed up to this point.
Our ride has taken us through many valleys and plains. As we turn a corner and look through the tree line we can see often mountain beautiful vistas. The mountains are covered with snow and have elevations over 9,000 feet. We had hoped to travel from St. Mary, Montana through Logan's Pass on the "Lake of the Sun Highway" to West Glacier Montana, however the road was still closed this afternoon due to too much snow cover. We are all a bit disappointed we could ride this road, but we still had some great scenery to appreciate all day.
Whitefish is about 1-hour from the Canadian border and we will be crossing into over Canada tomorrow morning as we head to Cochrane, Alberta.
Bikes are performing well and a real pleasure to ride. Not many pictures today, just a lot of great roads and riding.
