I Will Survive – Cycling to the Loop on the Sun Road

June 26, 2012June 23, 2017 Marlene Leave a comment Cycling, Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure
Cycling Sun Rd.bird woman falls

 Rain and snow create an opportunity. Rain, and an additional 35 inches of snow that had to be plowed delayed the scheduled opening of the Going to the Sun Road. It was our good luck that it turned out that way (if you call the opportunity to make your legs nauseous, lucky). My family and […]

A Snake Deserves No Pity?

May 1, 2012June 14, 2012 Marlene Leave a comment Cycling, Glacier Country

Warm weather has brought out the snakes and David has encountered them on two occasions. First, by stepping into a nest of them along Rails to Trails, and second by running over one as we were cycling down the hill to the bike path in Kalispell.     Not much thought was given to his […]

Bike Pants Save the Day!

April 19, 2012June 14, 2012 Marlene Leave a comment Cycling, Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure

As much as I enjoyed bike riding last summer, I must confess I was a little apprehensive when recently we took the bikes out of the garage for a ride out west towards Kila. Mostly I was afraid of going up the hills and coming home with a sore bum. David had his new bike […]

Train Trestle Hiawatha Bike Trail

A Moment of Terror on the Route of the Hiawatha – Dark, Cold Tunnels! Suddenly everything went dark. A sense of unease came over me. It was cold and I could barely see. I was afraid and wanted to stop but I had to keep moving for fear that someone would run in to me. […]

The Route of the Hiawatha – The Trailhead and Trestles

July 13, 2011August 10, 2021 Marlene Leave a comment Cycling, Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure

The Route of the Hiawatha is the “Crown Jewel” of the Rails to Trails System. With that said, the Hiawatha lived up to its reputation as a spectacular bike ride through the rugged Bitterroot Mountains of Idaho and Montana. After a pleasant stay in historic Wallace, Idaho, we drove out of town 20 miles on […]

Cycling Adventure in Glacier National Park – Hikers, Bikers, and Bears!

June 7, 2011March 13, 2013 Marlene 1 Comment Bear Encounters, Cycling, Glacier Country

While plowing progresses on the upper reaches of The Going to the Sun Road, vehicular traffic is stopped at Avalanche. This leaves the road to hikers, bikers and bears!”  This having been my first bike ride on the Going to the Sun Road, I wasn’t sure what to expect as the road can be deceptively […]

Mallory Rides a Bike

April 26, 2011April 11, 2020 Marlene Leave a comment Cycling, Glacier Country

You remember Curious George.   He lived with his friend, the man with the yellow hat. He was a good little monkey and always very curious.   One morning the man with the yellow hat had a surprise for George. It was a bicycle!     George was delighted. The man with the yellow hat […]
