One of the great things about being alive is being able to cycle up mountain passes and summits of all types. The view from up there is so much better. Some hikers are "peak-baggers". So maybe some cyclists are "pass-baggers". But why stop there ? I got in the habit of naming most of the rides after their highest point(s), weather these are recognized passes or just informal summits. If interested -check out my web page. The cryptic shortform s(u) indicates this is such a summit(unrecogniced), while (sh) means it's a shoulder summit (you can go higher without barely any downhill in between)

26.06.26-bike+hike-Lulu_Pass_area

This one did not go as planned, and so the profile of the daytrip does not end where it started. After I got back from the hiking part -still too much snow on Lulu Pass, I discovered I had a flat on the bike. Then I realized the pump had…

26.06.24-Beartooth_Pass_x2

this was also the first real Rocky Mountain Pass I ever rode, on a transcontinental ride , just after finishing US high school. I remember it as the high point in every way of that summer. I took no pictures on that ride, because i was convinced that pictures could…

26.06.22 Wy120 Clark's Fork - Crandall Creek s(u) x2

This small summit is between Dead Indian Pass and Beartooth Pass. The major attraction is it's position below Pilot Peak. This was another ride in winter jacket and full gloves. Meanwhile Europe is having its worst heatwave.

On the way back I met Oivind from Norway, on a detour around Yellowstone while on his cross country ride, because the National Park System is not working particularly well for long distance cyclists, especially those not of a US persuasion.

My map labels this Squaw Teats Rd. But no…

2 days after the heat on Dead Indian Pass - wouldn't you know it - it snowed overnight. This is an out and back gravel road to a trailhead in the North Absaroka Wilderness . ... Ranches are to America, what castles are to Europe... in the sense, that they…

26.06.05 Dead Indian Pass x2 (Chief Joseph Hiway, Absaroka Mtns, Wyoming)

I was hurting on the way back on this one, due to a sick stomach, a relentless sun, and also old age . But the scenery speaks for itself. First time I rode this , this was still a gravel road, and gravel biking wasn't invented yet.

Hello .....

Going to Wyoming with the camper awakens a longing in me. And then exploring everything by bike.... simply great 👍..... The pictures partly look like they are from past decades. I wish you a nice stay there 👋
