  • Bike Trip Day 31: Alcova to Casper, WY

    Biking: 27 Miles We had a good night in the AirBNB, and headed a short distance from Alcova to Casper today. Less than 30 miles of biking. Anita and Mark are staying in the city, and Brian and I are staying in the Casper KOA which turns out to be about 5 miles north of…

  • Bike Trip Day 30: Jeffrey City to Alcova

    Biking: 76 miles Like yesterday, today was crazy windy. Up to 25 mph winds, and that can really slow you down or, if you’re lucky, make your day pretty easy. For us, we dealt with some mild crosswinds for the first 10 miles, but the next 14 miles felt like a repeat of yesterday, trying…

  • Bike Trip Day 29: Riverton to Jeffrey City

    Biking: 57.5 Miles An easy day, we thought. Just 57 miles to Jeffrey City. We had a great rest day in Riverton and hit the road this morning around 8 am. We headed southeast for about 37 miles and then headed east for the last 20 miles. I knew winds could be an issue for…

  • Bike Trip Day 28: Rest day in Riverton

    We call it a rest day, but usually it’s a day to do all the things we can’t get to on riding days. For me, it was a day to take two of my bikes to the bike shop for repairs. Riverton doesn’t have a bike shop, so I drove the RV to a nearby…

  • Bike Trip Day 27: Dubois, WY to Riverton, WY

    Biking: 74 Miles Last night, Brian and I had camped at the Longhorn Ranch Lodge and RV Campground. Our site was next to the stream that ran through the property. This was Oreo’s favorite campsite of the trip, it seems. For the first time, he tried to escape from the RV, and I think it…

  • Bike Trip Day 26: Grand Tetons to Dubois, WY

    Biking: 68 miles Good morning! This is what greeted us this morning. The Grand Tetons. We started out a bit before 8 am, but due to a miscommunication about the meet up point, we were delayed, finally leaving around 9 am. But, who complains about spending an extra hour in the Grand Teton National Park?…

  • Bike Trip Day 25: Ashton to the Grand Tetons

    Biking: 64 miles What a day! We climbed a lot. So many gravel climbs, but the road wasn’t as bad as I feared. I forgot to mention yesterday, that the road we’re taking today isn’t safe for the RV, so Brian stayed in Yellowstone last night, and Anita, Mark, and I stayed in an AirBNB…

  • Bike Trip Day 24: Henry’s Lake to Ashton, ID

    Biking: 53 miles Brian and I stayed at the beautiful Henry’s Lake in Idaho just west of Yellowstone. I biked from the campground to the resort where Anita and Mark stayed, just down the road, and then we took off for Ashton, ID. The first part of our route took us mostly on Route 20,…

  • Bike Trip Day 21-23: Dillon to Henry’s Lake

    While Brian and I were in State College, Anita and Mark continued on the route to Henry’s Lake. They took a rest day in Dillon, and stopped by a bike shop to ask about the route from Dillon to Ennis. This was the leg of the trip that I rode on July 23, and it…

  • Bike Trip Day 18: Missoula to Darby

    Biking: 63 miles (Anita and Mark) Denise’s ride: See https://keepthewheelsturning.blog/2026/07/26/rv-trip-day-19-darby-to-missoula/ Anita and Mark continued on the route, taking the Bitterroot Trail from Missoula to Darby. This is a paved trail that runs along Route 93. The traffic noise can be a little annoying but the views are great. Here are a few pictures from their…
