Ghost Town Idea

Hold yer horses, partner! I ain’t no G-man, but I do dig the “Counting Sheep” loop – wouldn’t catch me dead in a 24-hour race, though!

Now, listen up ’cause I got a doozy of an idea to liven things up: Ghost Rider, Riding with the Dead… Ghost Town 24!

Montana’s chock-full of spooky ghost towns, like Garnet with its sweet 10-mile MTB loop. But any of ’em could work! We’d partner with the folks who keep these dusty relics alive, boost tourism, and even throw some bucks their way for a facelift.

Imagine a dusty start/finish line smack dab in the town, ringed by old-timey tents like a rendezvous. A saloon for a lap counter? Hitch your bike, check in, and boom, you’re back on the dusty trail. Talk about atmosphere!

Whatcha think? Sounds like a hoot, right?
