Ok, making this quick, by necessity. I'm at Brush Mountain Lodge, only about 33 miles from where I last stayed. I almost pushed here yesterday, which would have made for an 85ish mile day, but I'm already two days ahead of my schedule to fly out of Denver to RAGBRAI, so I'm in no rush Tomorrow I do 50-60 miles, then a similar day, then a 75 mile day, and I'm close enough to Denver for RAGBRAI, so why rush? I did 33 miles riding from 8am to 11:45 with 2:50 on bike. The last 13 were a slog climb, but meh - whatever.
How's that for eloquent writing. It's late, shush.
Bush Mountain Lodge is awesome! It is run by Kirstin, a person who's been a Divide fan for a long time. She take care of all the racer and tourers, and is a really amazing host. There are cabins and rooms and she cooks for you and is super chill to hang out with. I'd been hearing about it for at least three days from nobo riders, so I knew I had to stop. It's amazing. There is a gear exchange, food, work stand, etc. Totally a great cater to the riders.
KC, who I camped with last night, also stayed here, as well as a Lithuanian couple who rode the Trans Am to Missoula, and then to Glacier, and now am on the Divide. I've heard lots of great stories that I will relate later.
For now, though, I am well fed, socialized, a bit tipsy, and ready for bed! In a real bed! I also had my first shower since Butte!
