One year I flew from Boston to Missoula and cycled 78 miles on the road to Lincoln MT. I picked up the Great Divide Trail at Lincoln and followed it about 408 miles to Henry's Lake ID (just short of Yellowstone). From there I cycled 108 miles on the road to Bozeman MT where I caught a flight back to Boston. I staffed an ACA Cycle MT tour based that year out of Bozeman before flying home. As I recall the trip was slightly longer than 10 days. Maybe 14-16 days or so.
edit: I just scanned the many GDMBR journals over on Crazy Guy. Lots of folks cover the Lincoln-Henry's Lake section in 8-10 days + or -.
