Sunscreen: a necessity. Not having/using it contributed to that crappy, badly sunburned feeling, along with the feverish feeling on night one, which persisted into the morning of day two.

The climb was beautiful, spectacular scenery, and great people to ride with.


More to come tommorow. Just got home less than an hour ago. Made it to Bozeman on Sunday after the ride, and finished up today.
