Alpine Wildflowers

Left Helena this morning - a bit late and feeling not so great. It's 5 hours of climbing so I went into spin mode and pushed up the steeper climbs. Seem to be moving back and forth with the same group of folks. North Carolinians, Kiwis, young Peter and Ezra and Chris from Vancouver.

Rolled into Butte around 5:30 and needed my bike worked on. Rob Leipheimer and his crew obliged graciously. The Aero Bars came loose and we needed to shim them up. Also adjusted gears and looked the bike over.

Decided to stay in Butte to refuel and rehydrate as it continued raining.

Here is a picture of a TD Rider going through the meadow at around 8000 feet with beautiful Alpine Wildflowers.

Making a push tomorrow to get further south so updates will be more sparse.
