I keep hearing that our weather is going to change so I’m trying to get as much riding in as I can. Today was busy with a trip to the gym, some chores at the computer, and an outing with the dog. We hiked along the Yellowstone River and he got to do some swimming.
I did manage to get the bike out at 2:20pm. I headed west on my usual route with the goal to go check out a few things in Fromberg. The ride was great as the temperature was in the mid-70s and there was no wind. Traffic was really light and I just cranked up the tunes and relaxed.
When I got to Fromberg I I took the road that goes behind the high school which becomes the Fromberg-Joliet Road. I was looking for fall colors, saw some, but was intrigued by the new paving on the road. I followed it for a mile or two until it ended and gravel took over. Time for some photos.
I got almost to Bridger and crossed the railroad tracks where I decided to turn around. I was just in time to watch a couple of trucks that travel on the rail, convert themselves to regular trucks.
I remembered that there was a serious derailment just south of here a few weeks ago and they must be oart of the crew working on that.
I headed back toward Fromberg the way I’d come and stopped for a photo or two.
These guys didn’t want to hang out with me.
The Gebo Barm is just across those fields.
The barn was a big deal when it was built in the early 1900s. Read more about it here. I think I’ll come back in a car and bring my drawing tools. It looks like a great subject.
I took my time, and mostly backroads, the rest of the way home. It was a relaxing way to spend the afternoon.
About 105 miles for the day.
