I live very close to Glacier National Park in Montana, and there is a famous biking road called Going to the Sun that I am mainly interested in riding in the summers.

Knowing Montana, (grew up in Chinook) the pickings are going to be slim, you might have to road trip, Missoula with UM may have a bigger selection
did a quick craiigs list search
