Hello from East Pine Street as I sit in my beetle eating some almond scone thing and a Starbucks coffee. Why not Break Espresso? This is a special day, I go to one of my special passes to ride my bike and I have a Starbucks card just itching to serve me smooth brew and blueberry scones. The only hangup is that they do not have blueberry scones here… boooooo! Anyway, let’s look at the positives.
Today I go to Fletcher Pass. This is a 50-mile ride that starts in Lincoln and ends in Lincoln. My plan is to ride up Route 200 to the Fletcher Pass Road (I don’t know what it is called). Then I will take the pass and go down to Wilborne before turning right on the Stemple Pass Road (Dirt). It is my hope I don’t run into excessive snow, and the pass is open. This all-dirt pass will be steeper and end by a downhill dirt road to Lincoln.
This is all uncharted territory, and it is my hope that the plan goes off without a hitch. If it does not, I will trace my route back to Lincoln. I will not travel further towards Helena than Wilborne. As soon as I get some air in my car tire (it is flat), I am out of here. Have a good day everyone. Climb higher, faster, stronger!
