Cycle Montana is a week-long fully supported tour that starts and ends in the same town... which is Missoula this year. Limited to 90 riders and about 60 miles daily. Excellent catered food. Mostly camping, but I use motels when I can.
Itinerary next week is:
Day One Missoula to Darby-... 68 miles... 2100 ft climbing
Day Two Darby to Jackson Hot Springs-.... 75 miles.... 5500 ft climbing
Day Three Jackson Hot Springs to Fairmont Hot Springs-... 77 miles... 2200 ft climbing
Day Four Fairmont HS to Phillipsburg-... 41 or 71 miles.... 1900 or 4000 ft climbing
Day Five Phillipsburg to Ovando-... 64 miles... ? Climbing
Day Six Ovando to Missoula-... 60 miles.... ? Climbing
I plan to do a day-to-day report with photos but some nights I way not be in wi-fi range.
Here's my report from last year, when CM started and finished in Bozeman.

Bozeman and Missoula are 2 great college towns. Wish I could do it, but Ride the Rockies was the 2nd bicycle trip for the year.

Billydonn, I'm really jealous. Looked at your posts from last year and it looks awesome. I've always wanted to go to that part of the country but it's a long way from south TX. Maybe next year, enjoy the ride for all of us ad be safe!

I'm sure we can count on some great video of the climbs, can't we.
Have fun, stay on your wheels!
