- Hey Guys,
This video is of Day 2-3 on The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. I make my way Thru Whitefish Montana over Red Meadow Pass, and continue on route to Columbia Falls. This is my second Montana bike tour, and looking forward to coming back and seeing more of what the 406 has to offer. Thanks for staying tuned, much more to come on The GDMBR.

Great vid, so much fun to watch. Thanx.
It looks like you had an easier time climbing Red Meadow pass than me! That downhill was great though!
What I beautiful part of the country. I've been dreaming about moving up there for years.
It’s some wild country up there.
Thank you for keeping us posted. Sure do enjoy your work. I'm sure it isn't easy recording and editing these videos. I can almost smell the pines.
Amazing what one can find on the Internet. Checked the registration on that airplane. Owned by a guy in S. California.
Hilarious! Matlock Tucker, ha. The plane was super cool. Lots of bush planes flying around up there, reminded me of Alaska for many reasons.
Thanks for taking us along!
Any time!
That entire regional is spectacularly beautiful. I moto-camped through Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and the entire central corridor from Boston 1 year. 7000 miles in 12 days. If I could live anywhere though, it would definitely be Colorado. Oh, what if you loosened the backpack straps to lower that huge load on your back? I swear by fanny packs now... no sweaty back and the hips carry the load. Thanks and be safe!
The Northern Rockies are great, very wild country. Comparable to Alaska and The Yukon. Colorado has always had my heart. I thought about the fanny pack, but in the end went with the pack i owned. Secretly carrying a computer in there to bring as live as possible videos for y'all. See you on The Alcan.
I am enjoying the trip, TT.
I like the bell. It let's me know when you're heading my way so I can look like I am paying attention to the video....😉
Thanks.
Great to see the new video. Made my day. Been stuck at home the last few days dealing with COVID. The beautiful scenery is inspiring. You are really crushing the miles on the new bike. I'm sure you will get your setup dialed in. It sounds like in the lower mileage range you are feeling fine though. I have a certain threshold where no matter how comfortable the bike is I start feeling fatigued. It just depends on the circumstances and how far I've ridden on successive days. ROCK ON brother...🤘
Hope you feel better. Much more to come.
Nice edit. Thanks for sharing. I v e been enjoying this trip.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good lookin' country out there. Sweet plane. Nice.
Yes indeed!
Great Vlog, inspiring to follow! When filming with Gopro, what do you use to edit the clips and upload a film on your CZcams channel? (difficult when remote and away for weeks..?)

좋은 하루~
Serious hills on that ride. Myself I put in extra effort to advoid hills. Oatmeal breakfast yum. I did 100 miles in a day once but that was a long time ago. Stay hydrated my friend.
Sounds great! Im follow that route, up or down. There are lots of opportunities to take the shorter paved road, but I just love the beating. Catch you in the Midwest.
need to do it myself
Yes, you do.
Awesome!!!!
Thanks!!
This is looking like a great series! Ride on
Awesome, Thanks Rick. This is the most hardcore trip I have ever done. Its going to be hard to top next year, but I have that figured out already.
@@TravelingThru222 moon shot?
I'm headed to the flathead lake/river area in a few weeks. Did you find dispersed camping pretty easy? I've looked on Dyrt and it doesn't seem there are many options. Great video as always.
You can camp anywhere you want in National Forests, if anybody gives you a hard time, tell them you have been throwing up all day and you’re out of options.
It looks beautiful! I would be freaking out if I needed to go 125 miles w/o a water refill, I drink a ton of water.
It’s tough out here, lots of sections like that.
If you haven't been through Helena yet, try to stay at MTB city. Nice owners. My Mom actually lives at the base of MT. Helena on University Ave. I visited in July/Aug.
Bear bell smart
What beautiful country and another outstanding video. Did you ever change your saddle? Headed out for some Vermont hills today. Take care and stay safe, Al
Very beautiful country up there. Look and smells just like Alaska. Have not changed the saddle, and I feel changing a saddle mid trip isn't the best idea. I think i will work on the shorts first.
I drove that road before
Get em.
Won't be long and you'll be waking up to frost. Although, I hear we are supposed to have a late frost at least here in southern Colorado.
I hear ya, Im trying to scoot right thru. See you in Del Norte.
Great run so far, my fingers are crossed for the 100 mile run.
Thanks for watching. Next video September 1.
Don't know how many kg's are in your backpack.
But on bumpy roads they will terrorize your B-hole area.
Consider to mount a rack at the back, to stack your pack.
(Never heard of Holland Lake, but the lake sure looks as flat as Holland. Nice!)
Beautiful area. Well.. the backpack is secretly carrying a computer to bring everybody videos as live as possible. I do have a game plan, and I shouldn't be carrying it the "hole" time. Thanks for the tips.
Bear spray….no big deal until you need it….I always carry two as once a bear biologist gave me that tip….always have a backup if you are miles between resupply in Bear Country….FYI: the majority of bear encounters/attacks are with black bears and they are everywhere….
Cool.

Boatloads of goat roads out there. You probably inhaled 3 pounds of gravel along your way. huh?
Love every second of it. Goats or not.
Are you using a bear vault for food storage?
Im not carrying a bear vault. If I was hiking I may carry a bear canister. All Bike Packers have been hanging their food in the trees, and some of them aren't really concerned with it at all, they just "put their food over there" kind of a thing. I feel there is way more hype over grizzly territory than needs to be, but definitely a concern on everybody's mind.
@@TravelingThru222 you are a seasoned pro with your hiking and cycling experience in bear county throughout the US. "Matty Freedom" talked about a woman that was killed by a grizzly in Ovando Montana last year in one of his videos. She was killed right in the town in a public area. I think she may have left some of her toiletries in the tent which may have attracted the bear to her. I looked up the article. Numerous links to it. Very sad. Stay safe brother.
So you camped with Marty Freedom and woke up with a sore ass? That’s cool
uhhhh......... Yeah...pretty much.
Best thing that worked for me was not carrying anything on my back.
I here ya, there is secretly a MacBook in there. Work and shit.
Did you actually see any bears? I hope u keep safe.
4 so far.
@@TravelingThru222 wow Gud to know u can see them n keep safe best wishes.
Beautiful but too many trees for me
Love it up there.
@@TravelingThru222 I'll love it through your eyes 👀
