Jackson to Twin Bridges, Mont.

We rode a long way today: 76 miles. The riding included two short, steep passes: Big Hole and Badger passes. Approaching Badger Pass we came upon some people in cars, on horses and on four-wheelers driving a bunch of cattle, some of whom were in the road. (If you're my Facebook friend, you can see a short video of this.)

Interestingly, 25 years ago around this same area we came upon a lone man on a horse driving a whole mess of cattle in a much more orderly manner.

From the top of Badger Pass, we had
a pretty good downhill ride into Dillon, where we ate at McDonald's. From there, we went 28 more miles to Twin Bridges, a ride that would have been a lot nicer without the persistent headwind.

We're staying at a fabulous bicyclist-only campground. It is owned by the town and has everything a bicyclist could want, including an enclosed pavilion.

(Update: The bike camp was really, really nice until a self-described "trout bum" and his dog set up shop in the pavilion. There are still nice outside facilities ... but still.)
