Well, this morning I made my farewells to the others, who were headed on to Cour d'Alene.
I had good weather for riding today..... for about 20 to 30 minutes. Turns out I was headed into some of the nastiest weather I've ever riden in. It was raining hard, and a pretty darn windy, also.
Weather cleared about 45 minutes later, although it seemed like hours. It cleared by the time I got the the interstate, but then got just as bad as I approached Butte. The weather didn't last as long, but the rain seemed to be accompanied with some really bad gusts. After getting through Butte, the weather cleared, for the most part, and warmed noticiably.
Note to self: The Alter-ego jacket can handle 45 degree weather, or rain, but not both very well. It was a little brisk. It didn't help that I was already a little damp when I donned my rain gear. Electric seat and grips helped, though.
After getting on 191 headed off the interstate to Yellowstone, it was quite sunny, but the high wind continued, much to my annoyance.
