Day 18
I passed the thousand-mile mark today, arriving in Lewistown after a 73-mile ride, meaning I’m halfway through! Lewistown is just about in the geographic center of Montana, so I’m also about half-way through this huge state. I thought I was done with hill climbing after crossing the continental divide, but Montana has more in store for me. Today, according to Strava, I had a cumulative elevation gain of 3220 feet. No wonder I feel tired. Tomorrow I’ll climb up to 4700 feet again as I pass through the Judith mountains. Doesn’t seem fair. The weather has cooperated, though. Cool today, with light winds from the northwest. Hoping for more of the same.
