I sure am glad Heather got you set up with this blog . . . I am loving reading about your adventures - and I loved the facts about Montana, I always did wonder how many people there were in the state per square mile. I think the state facts should be a regular in the blog. I want to thank you also for getting a kayak and allowing me to use it . . . I have now officially been in it more than you - just doing my duty and keeping your wife company while you are away . . . It ain't nothin!
I'm seeing two things here - the fact that you had two HOURS of off-bike time (what were you doing, taking a nap?) and the fact that your Garmin said you burned 6k calories. :-)
As a group we tend to take a lot of breaks, some of them quite long. The Trek team always sets up a nice lunch for us or we eat in a restaurant. I’m actually stopping the bike to take these pictures, Heather should be proud. You know the Garmin is woefully inaccurate on calorie burn.
Suns up, it’s on.
Start of a 20 mile climb with 5,000’ of WTF
Halfway up the WTF
Bighorn Pass, WY, It ain’t nothin
Top speed 45.5. Damn headwind 
15 miles of this on the way down the backside
