Bozeman, MT

First media of the trip for me can be found at this link: http://www.shoshonenewspress.com/news/article_f9e39bce-7e12-11df-a4ee-001cc4c03286.html

Today we had our first century ride that ended up being about 109 miles.  I swept today with Jared and the last paceline.  It took about 9 hours to finish the ride.  We had 4 good climbs today and for part of the ride followed the Madison River through its canyons.  We arrived at Eagle Mount of Bozeman around 4 PM.  The organization provides recreational therapy for people with disabilities and children with cancer.  We got to tour the stables and see all the horses that are used in their horseback riding therapy program.  One of the coolest activities that they provide is their skiing program.  They have many different forms of skiing equipment to suit all different kinds of disabilities so anyone can enjoy the fun of skiing.  Just yesterday the organization was on the today show and was awarded the Lend A Hand Today award from Al Roker.  The award consisted of over 1.2 million dollars worth of supplies and equipment, a $100,000 grant to better improve their organization, and doubled their acreage so they can expand.  This is an incredible award for such a great organization and the entire staff was thrilled.  That night we got to enjoy their therapeutic pool which is kept at 90 degrees and called it an early night as we had another 5 AM wakeup to head to Yellowstone.
