Cycling across Kyrgyzstan

Here is an inspirational video about cycling across Kyrgystan. It's 25 mins long. Enjoy.

Do it for Casey.

I know this is The Bozeman Fix, but you guys want to support cycling infrastructure all over Montana, right?

Go here to support a cycling infrastructure project in Missoula.

#1
Big Timber Loop 
Sunday June 23, 2013
80ish miles leaving from Livingston and heading through the West Boulder and up to Big Timber for resupply. Then return along the Yellowstone River to recovery pizza and beer at the Murray Bar in Livingston. 60/40 dirt/pave ratio. Only 3300ft of climbing all in the beginning. Significant wind makes or breaks this ride. (Usually breaks it.) All day ride: 6+ hours.


#2
Pony Express
Sunday July 7, 2013
Need to start early. Like 8am. Around the Tobacco Roots on mostly dirt roads. Pony to Alder to Twin  Bridges. Resupply here. Then back up the Jefferson River:
Option A: near Waterloo go right,  up and over the Tobacco Roots to the South Boulder then Pony. Includes singletrack trail and a big climb. Whee!
Option B: ride north to Cardwell, get a beer and a donut at the store, and then head up the South Boulder to Carmichael rd. to Pony. Stays flatter. Little bit of pave.

 Significant climbs. I think it is 80-100 miles. 90/10 dirt/pave. This will take all day. 8+ hours.

Ruby Ramble? Gravelly Grinder? VC 75??
Sat. Aug 24, 2013
This is the crown jewel. This ride is gonna be unreal! Leave out of Virginia City up and down to Varney Bridge. Then a big climb up up up the Gravelly Range Road. Ride south on top of the world with incredible views of the Madison, Ruby, and Centennial mountains. Drop down into the Ruby drainage and back past the resevoir. Take a right: Up and over again to Nevada City. Few miles on pave back up to the start at VC. This has major climbing. And I haven't figured out the water supply points yet. Carry all your food for sure. 80ish miles. 95% dirt. All day for sure.

#5

Start in Livingston. Out Willow Creek up and down Jackson Creek and into Bozeman. Fuel up. Then out Bear Canyon, over to Trail Creek rd, and over to Paradise Valley and back up to Livingston. 80ish miles. 60/40 dirt pave? Murray Bar recovery pizzas.
