I got hypothermic the first day despite being warned. At least I knew to stop and warm up. I didn't stop to fix the lack of oil in the front fork until I got to Whitefish MT. I got rained on, sleeted, hailed and some sun too (of course it was also raining anyway), serious head winds, serious tail winds, had to wade through creeks where the road was washed out for miles, hiked my bike for hours nearly every day.

Seriously some of the best memories of my life and my friends are really tired of hearing about it.

Hey guys, can we please keep this thread on the original topic of Mike Hall and other recent losses? Feel free to start an alternative thread on the tour divide / hypothermia topic.

Thanks!
