Miles today - 80
Miles total - 1022
Ellevation climbed - 2239 feet
Elevation at Twin Bridges - 4773 feet
Ride time - 5 hours 31 minutes
Average speed - 14.3 mph
We climbed up and out of Big Hole Valley crestng the Big Hole Pass at 7360 feet; decended quickly and then up Badger Pass at 6730 feet before dropping down into Dillion Montana and pushing onward to Twin Bridges.
Winds were heavy today but thankfully we had them at our back MOST of the time.
Twin Bridges is in the Beaverhead area where Lewis and Clark expedition paused at a confluence of three tributaries naming them Philosophy, Wisdom and Philanthrophy; the then President's three virtues.... Later the rivers were renamed Willow Creek, Big Hole River and Ruby River.
