Pipestone Biking


Jolie and I spent a few days near Butte biking/hiking the fantastic trails around Pipestone Pass. We biked an epic (well epic for us) 20.4 mile/2,700 foot elevation gain trail along the continental divide - talk about exhausted afterwards. The crazy thing is that the day before we rode it, they held one of the toughest mountain bike races in the country here - the Butte 100 - those guys rode 100 miles in this area (including this trail) with 16,000 feet of elevation gain ... inhuman .... winner took over 10 hours to complete.

Over halfway through our ride we stopped for lunch, Jolie was exhausted from riding and took a hard nap due to all that hard biking. Hmmmmm ... maybe that can of Lime-a-Rita (8% alcohol content) had something to do with the nap ????... just saying.
