Very happy to be on the overnight bus with my bike to Puerto Varas. The flight to Santiago went well and Turbus was a brilliant way to get downtown. Enjoyed walking through the university grounds, to the Museum of Memory and Human Rights and back. I will unbox, build and ride a short distance tomorrow…

The early morning ride through the Kootenays ended with a 10km ride through the Isadore Canyon on the BC Trail, also known as the Trans Canada Trail. My trip ends here with a search for a bike box and then a taxi ride to the airport.

A long but rewarding day from Whitefish, across the US/Canada border towards Cranbrook, BC. That is where this cycling adventure will end.
-
The blue sky day again dominated the stage for a zig zag ride along the foothills of the Swan Range and the Flathead National Forest.
-
A climb to start the day and then some time off route to get closer to the Canadian border. I hope to get close enough to cross at Roosville early in the day on Friday.
-
Beautiful climbs with signs of wildlife everywhere. Rocky rough sections often transitioned into smooth, just moist enough, dirt roads. Slow ascents were followed by long fast descents. A day of ‘flow’ punctuated by signs and smells of grizzlies to keep me grounded.

The forecast rain did not start falling until 5 this afternoon….enough time for me to climb out of Helena to the sanctuary of this Alpaca Ranch! Will stay for a rest day too!

The Huckelberry shake with a late breakfast at the Basin Saloon hit the spot after a climb out of Butte. I again took advantage of the strong south wind and rode it north to Helena. I have gone off route today but felt the need to mend some sore joints. I want to be ready…
