65 mile bike ride with ryan. up in Islandpark idaho/montana/west yellowstone. this ride is known as "the block" .loved this. we started in west yellowstone. Rode toward Island park Idaho (leaving Montana and crossing the continential divide),on highway 20. Then Turned Right on highway 87, going past Henrys lake. We passed by the continential divide again on this highway. Then turned Right again on Highway 287, going up through Raynolds pass. Very Hilly. But Loved it. Rode along the Madison River, Passed 2 lakes. Earthquake lake and the 2nd lake (hebgen lake) we rode the shore line the whole way.This was definently my favorite parst of the ride. It was also the most difficult, but the scenery alone made it worht it! THen turn last right going back into West Yellowstone on highway 191. Ryan got a flat tire with 3 miles left to go! This was defienelty the most dangerous part of the ride. It is the main highway going toward Bozeman Montana. People drive fast. Good thing it was only 8 miles we had to go! This is a ride i will never forget!
