Hello from Missoula, Montana, where we’re expecting 6 inches of snow, and it seems winter’s decided to overstay its welcome with a flair for the dramatic. Just yesterday, this reminder hit me hard, and today, I find myself in desperate search of a sliver of sunshine—anything to break through the monotony and reignite our hope that summer isn’t just a myth.
What kicked off as a promising day and a journey to a breathtaking spot quickly turned into an epic saga of endurance. I embarked on a road ride from Plains to Thompson Pass—a whopping 91 miles that, despite the ordeal, I don’t regret one bit. The beauty of the area is undeniable, a true classic in its own right.
