Day 14
Harlowton to Billings - 93 miles
Another long mileage day but much easier. Everyone was at the dorms by 3pm. We had a lot of interesting scenery along the Musselshell River where Chief Joseph led his band of Nez Perce.
Tonight we are staying at Montana State College in the dorms. Tomorrow will be a needed rest day. We had a catered barbecue this evening.
Unfortunately there are a few issues in the group with expectations for the level of service. These issues are not being addressed very well by Adventure Cycling so they are continuing to build. It is only a small group of around 6 riders but it is starting to separate the group and causing the leaders additional grief.
We have started a duffus award for each day. It is some red, white, and blue ribbons that you must ware on your helmet. You can win this award for doing good or for doing something totally stupid. I am not sure if I want to win this but if I do I am sure it will be for something stupid.
I am looking forward to a sleep in day tomorrow...
