Words are inadequate to describe the beauty of Glacier National Park. In some ways, this whole trip has been leading up to the day I would cross Logan's Pass.There are restrictions for cyclists on the road. First I had to wait until after 4 p.m. before I could ride to Avalanche campsite from where I would start the climb early the next morning. I met Dean just outside the park and when I told him my plan, he offered to give me a ride to the pass on his motorcycle while I had time to kill. I took it.
The next day I knew what to expect. I was on the road by 6:30 and arrived at the pass by 10:05. I had the road nearly to myself for the first couple of hours. Needless to say, I felt incredibly happy and strong on my way to the top. Much later in the day and 30 miles from the pass, I ran into two racers who said they had seen me in their car while I was climbing in the early morning. They said they recognized me from my giant grin.
