Alaska Day 34

This morning we planned to have breakfast in town before heading out on the road. We walked down to a cafe and had breakfast when we walked back to the motel we found that road crews had completely tour up the road and we had a short wait as they made the road passable for us to leave. We headed for the famed Beartooth pass which is a great high mountain pass that connects Cooke City to the town of Red Lodge. It was a great ride up and up the pass to its 11,000ft summit where it was cool but not too cold. There was lots of other bikes enjoying the pass. You can see in the pictures the winding road that takes you over the pass. As we descended the temperatures quickly rose and when we stopped in Red Lodge for lunch we quickly changed riding gear. After lunch we continued to Billings to visit John daughter Sindy and granddaughter Lee Ann and much to John's surprise her boyfriend, Luck. 125 miles today.
