Did 296 and 212 today (Chief Joseph and Beartooth Pass). Fantastic ride, only 1 mile of road construction early on the south side of 212, not a long wait.
unfortunately they have laid down a Bunch of Tar Snakes on the north side (the very twisty side) of the Dead Indian Pass. They are navigable but just take it slower than you really want to.
The Beartooth Highway is just fantastic. all the construction over the past few years has that beautiful road smooth as glass and traffic flowing.
All the mountains surrounding the area are solid snow covered, and the drifts on the pass road are at least 20 feet even today. Temp only got down to 52 with little wind.
Return trip to Cody we caught a little rain.
All in all another fantastic run of the BTP (my 7th) and I'll try to do it a couple of times a year as long as I can.
Probably the best piece of asphalt in the country. !!!
I met TJ Ranch at Dead Indian Pass rest stop! As I pulled up he came over and said "Hey are you Dr.Jim??" Guess he recognized my bike from the videos. Great Guy. Enjoyed meeting you sir.
Rode with Jimmy Chance from Savannah GA and his family. We did the Big Horns yesterday, and into Yellowstone tomorrow.
Weather calls for 40% rain, but morning riding is cool and clear and stunning. Getting some great video with my new Contour+.
Yall come.....
